In response to Matt Miller - I would only disagree with the statement that the sails were top of the line for their time. I knew in 1984 (and I had been out of sailing for a couple of years because of graduate school) that type of laminate had problems. The single sided laminate is a trade between life, low stretch, weight, and cost. It is a winner in everything except life. I don't know of any other boat except maybe the H16 that uses that cloth now. With one design, mistakes haunt you for a long time.
