A new Yankee for the new Solent stay…
Hi Team
Very exiting delivery from Sanders Sails gave us a chance to exercise the new solent stay recently. A lovely high-cut 100% Yankee made to the same heavy duty spec as Puffin’s other sails by Peter and team in Lymington.
This is the first new sail that we’ve treated ourselves to, ahead of finding a sponsor, and is made from the same Dimension-Polyant 410AP fabric (approx. 9.6oz I’m told) as Puffins Main, Stay and Genoa sails.
The solent rig and refurbished furler all performed faultlessly, good stay tension and easy to furl, thanks again to Jade at C( Boat Services.
Really looking forward to using this extra “gear” on a much longer sail soon!
