The end of November has brought some weather with heavy flooding and gale force winds. It really is a rare occurrence for Ian Black to use a 3.4m sail, i think the mast of it was probably shorter than he is, still if it was a weird experience for him he still as ever throws some spray
Ian on a 3.4 --->

We have been trying out some different things on the 5 batten sails lately, different(and more) seam shaping in the lower panels, different batten geometry, all working well so far, but quite a different feel, time will tell how much we integrate into the "standard" cut.
It seems Steve King got on well with a 4.7 version- Mr Contorted ---->

The colour schemes of these sails isn't to everyone's taste, they seem to draw equal dose's of "wow they look great" and "wow horrid!" what is not in doubt is that these sails stand out on the water. If you sail anywhere a bit remote or where you feel a bit safer with a sail that can be seen  in the semi dark and rain think about a multi-coloured sail - made to make your mouth water!
Ian black testing his 5.0 5 batten, this one has ++ seam shaping  AND ++ luff curve, it will rip most peoples arms off its got so much grunt--->

Andrew too has been testing the 5 batten sails, but he isnt really interested, he just loves his 4 batten sails!--->
