They are fast.
Thank you.

Good Afternoon Dick<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I thought that I would drop you a quick line to say how delighted I am with the new sails for Capriol!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We raced at the weekend in the Rowhedge Regatta and took a second place just behind Pete Taylor<\/div>\n
(also sporting his new suit of Batt sails!). We were at one stage,\u00a0half way round the course, in the lead<\/div>\n
and would probably have maintained our position had helmsman error not put us on the putty allowing<\/div>\n
Peter\u00a0 and another WOD (also sporting Batt Sails!) past! We regained second, but Peter had just a bit<\/div>\n
too big a lead to haul him back.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I will be speaking to you towards the end of the year about a new spinnaker!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Thanks once again!<\/div>\n

Kind regards<\/div>\n

Hi Dick<\/p>\n

I have been out on the boat a few times now trying out the sails and they look magnificent. I attach a shot of the main taken yesterday. They are very different from the old Sanders sails with the main being much bigger and the jib a little smaller which has required me to learn to tack again. Not a problem if you ease out the main sheet a bit more and back the jib slightly going through the tack.<\/p>\n

Good morning Dick<\/div>\n
Just to let you know we had a good sail yesterday, and how pleased all our syndicate members are with the new jib- it sets beautifully. Thanks to your very helpful report on the condition of the severely damaged old sail we were also successful in securing a good settlement from our insurers.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
We shall definitely need a new replacement cover for the Hawk for next season. Please could you provide us with a quote.<\/span><\/div>\n

Absolutely delighted with the new jib. Easy to use and very fast. It was quite a shock to be mixing it with the big boys but our shortcomings were due to lack of practice. Now saving for the new mainsail!<\/p>\n

I don’t need it until next year, will wait to hear from you.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Hi Dick ..\u00a0 It was close for sure.\u00a0 If our navigation while leading had been better we’d have won at least one maybe two more races.. The boat is going very well and although we’ve been using the new jib for a couple of seasons the event was the first time we’ve used the new main.\u00a0 They do set well and are easy to read ……..<\/p>\n

Hi Dick,<\/p>\n

Thanks for the email. Yes very pleased with the jib thanks. I was 2nd over the water at the Punt Championships 2 weekends ago with an inexperienced crew, won the Ant Challenge Cup and was second (would have been first were it not for the spinnaker tack line breaking in the last race) in the Sundog Trophy at the Norfolk Punt Club regatta out of a fleet of 22 this past weekend. Still a bit to play with regards to the jib leach tension on reaches but in general the rig is working extremely well, especially upwind.<\/p>\n

Kind regards,
Max<\/p>\n
