It's like music to my ears. 'New sails', 'Nothing but new sails'........

Great when things come together.
We're just making summer vacation plans which along with other trips away, will include a cruise on Swagman down to the west country, when we talked about our mainsail.
Checking it out after the RTI Race, where we opened a rip in the panel we had replaced in St Lucia after the ARC, we discussed the chances of a new one.
As any male will know, in such situations all one can do is make recommendations, and leave the final decision to our respective finance ministers.
But these discussion, combined with the news that Hanse Germany were opening a sale on unused spares which included a new Norths D Cut main for a 461 at bargain price, led to a result- and we placed our order.
So with luck and some co-operation from Hanse UK who can help ship it for pennies by loading onto a yacht being delivered anyway, we could have it bent on before we leave.
I feel like a child waiting for Xmas Day! Lovely.
