The sails are great! I typically furl the lower sails, to keep the deck
clear. The heavy canvas holds its shape nicely, too.

yeah, it works pretty well, but due to the weave, wants to come apart at the
edges if you are not careful!

to widen it. Obviously one will be dismantled and reset at some point... I just
can’t decide which at the moment. And it’s grey too... who would have thought?
