CP16 sails into wind better without jib

[B.Hart]

   Sails are definitely the final link of my restoration. My main is new(3 years old) but it is not a "COM-PAC" sail. I had not thought about the air going through the sail but it makes sense since it has the texture of toilet paper. I have notice that the sail does not have a consistent shape when sailing,    BILL

I have had the opportunity to run the jib sheets inside the side stays. It didn't make any appreciable difference with my ability to head into the wind.
I'm going to accept that with the canvas I have currently; that's the way it is.
The boat is now in the garage for the forseeable future. I intend to clean, repair and restore in preparation for dealing with 3 foot-itis next spring.
