Very nice sail....should scare away any pirates...is that (now sad looking) main next?

I got an answer to this question today.   The sad looking main ripped open the stitches on a seam 2 feet in from the leech.   It's been declared unworthy of a Mexican vacation and a replacement kit was ordered from Sailrite tonight.   The Blackdragon sail loft is open again!

OK Susan.   Here's the answer to your challenge.   The new main is done.   

The thing with a main is the first thing you do with your sail is take it to a professional sail maker and have them press in the rings.    So you are exposed to critique before you've even laid a halyard on it.   

It was a pleasant surprise when I picked it up.   Dennis from North Sails wasn't really sure if I had sewn it myself.   He thought it was a pretty damn good looking sail and better put together than most he has seen.   No issues sailing to Mexico and back and wherever for years and years.    Now I just need some wind...
