Reply to: Prindle 16 newbie, looking for tips on faster setup, beginner configuration and overall not sinking

[quote=vinnyvincent]Whether its the original sail that came with the boat, I can't say for sure. It was the only sail that came with the boat when I bought it. The white and blue sail is a spare sail that I had left over after I ditched the junk hulls and bought the blue boat you see in the picture with the 8120 sail. someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the numbers on the sail signify what numerical order the sail was produced by that particular sail maker. in our case our sails were made by the original manufacturer of prindle(surfglas, which doesn't necessarily mean they came with that boat or any boat). If you were to purchase a sail from an aftermarket sail maker and it was only their third prindle 16 sail they ever made, your sail number would be 3. Judging from the amount of prindle 16's produced and the condition that mine is in, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that my 8120 sail is not likely to have came with my 1984 prindle and is probably newer. I'd be willing to believe the white and blue sail in my avatar could have very well been the original sail that came with my old 1982 P16 as shown, but can't say for sure. at any rate it seems like you are over thinking things. I am the same way and was more so when I got my P16 at first, which was my first catamaran. you just need to take it out a few times and then figure it all out from there. There were so many things I thought I needed or thought was an issue and after taking it out a few times I realized that the boat was pretty much good to go and didn't really need many adjustments, just a few minor things.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by vinnyvincent on Sep 26, 2013 - 02:17 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
