Now the real work starts! So sails? Brendan Hunt arranges a meeting with Ian Short of Ian Short Sails at Taren Point in Sydney’s southern Sutherland Shire. Being a Shire boy this fits well with me. We are shown Premium High Performance Dacron, Pentax Double Taffetta Cruiselam and Spectra Hydra Net. Ian suggests Spectra Hydra Net that befits a boat of this size....and looks good. So what set up? Furling headsail and boom furling main.
It’s very interesting to follow this as the sails are designed on computer and then cut to size. From there Ian’s team will sew and glue to the final product. Before this is done he’ll visit the boat for final measurements when the mast has been stepped....a long way away.
