[quote]I've seen a few videos a Hobie sails on Nacras what's with that? [/quote]
there are SOME sails that will work decent on other boats
it is kinda rare and a poor match could have some bad results (poor helm, too much power, too much power forward, etc)
people usually would do that when they can't afford a new sail and or don't care about performance issues that may come with doing this or have the knowledge to know what sailshape and length will translate to on the water
i have purchased many tornado sails for my mysteres but that is a very similar boat, sailplan, hardware, etc
i now have custom sailes cut for my needs but will put a smaller f18 main on in higher wind (for less power)
If you are new, and don't know a lot about sail shape, and pros and cons of different shape, plus mast settings, ... i would stick with a new 5.7 main and jib sail from Chip - if you can afford it - its very nice to have sails that are very responsiveEdited by MN3 on Oct 02, 2020 - 03:38 PM.
