F18 Decksweeper Mainsail: Cut & Sail (II)
As promised I finally could cut one of the standard F18 mains I had. This work was done last 2 days by my local sailmaker, who did a really good job considering the time frames I gave him.
Sail was handed yesterday late afternoon, now I need to cut battens , re check some minor details and we’ll be racing 12pm Arg time.
Will be crewing, light winds expecting, not much performance expectations, as my helm is new to the Class, his first race helming, but it will be lots of fun and learning how to sail & trim the new Decksweeper Mainsail cuts.
Also I managed to hook my friend even more with his F18 he bought after 2016 Worlds, so an excellent program all for this weekend.
Later more pics with sail up with proper batten settings etc.
Here we write & speak a lot, but I always try to walk the talk, you can cut your current F18 sails no problem as done with the A-Class ones.
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
