I now have sails for try out :  Don't hesitate to try my new/near new sails and help you to set it up before you decide to buy a new one from the local dealer. If you are 35-42 kgs, want to be quick downwind without affecting too much you upwind speed, try my new TR3 flat luff Toni Tio (for sale 250EUR). I also just obtained a Radial Medium from Ullman Sails. The design is a little older but has been very sucessful with the Brittany U11 squad as it is a sail easy to adjust giving just enough power in light and medium air for a maximum speed without loosing hights for young 35-45 kgs kids. More sails will be available soon but I will focus on newly developped sails (need to negociate good deals from sail makers).

FACILITATING new sails order for Ullman and Olimpic sails. contact me for details. next bulk order early July (get your order in before mid June). LAST order June 18th

Sailors letters & reports can be sent and may be published!
