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. I have 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 35-42 kgs kids. Jean Baptiste from Ullman sails has developped a new radial design giving him a lot of satifaction in France (video). It is now available for tryout. I also have the sucessful Radial ray from Oli sails, the sail of choice of many sailors on their last year..
