scrottieSail maker arrived, with wife and three kids, including their brand new one, in tow. Wife and kids hung out near the pool. Says he has a Moore 24: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/moore-24/ . Sounds like there's a small fleet.
Confirmed my current main is hella stretched out. Much more fun in person than using remote communication. That's a major expense I'd been saving for. This is partly my fault for trying to talk to them during the busy season tho I had this idea I could dump measurements on them (boomer sail loft was more than ready to do that which is where communication broke down) and then not really care how long it takes them to finish. Going for a bit less body and higher aspect ratio with the idea that the loads of power on a beam reach in rig designs of this era just isn't justified and close reach performance is more important. But also, less body is less to flap and less to get stretched out, and makes it easier to flatten the sail for high wind. While waiting (they were considerably later than planned), I got some good deck scrubbing in and other minor projects.
