Voyager Sails Cruising News: March 2011
http://voyagersails.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Voyager Sails Cruising News. Thursday, March 24, 2011. What makes a good cruising sailcloth? First, the fabric must be durable. Durable means that it will hold up to rough seas and strong winds without tearing or blowing up. Durable also means that the fabric is stretch resistant. A sail that looses its shape after one season would not be considered “durable”. The fabric must also have a nice “hand”, meaning that it is not too stiff and difficult to handle.

Voyager Sails Cruising News. Friday, October 8, 2010. Can My Symmetrical Spinnaker Be Made Into a Cruising Asymmetric? We get asked this question a lot. It probably makes sense to the average sailor that a standard symmetric spinnaker could be cut into a cruising asymmetric spinnaker. In reality, however, it is not a realistic thing to do.

http://voyagersails.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Voyager Sails Cruising News. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. There is nothing like a gleaming white sail drawing well in a good breeze. Unfortunately, after a number of years sails can start looking a bit dirty due to constant use, and that once pristine sail might now have a few stains, streaks, or scuff marks. Here are some tips regarding how to keep your sails looking like new. Store your sails dry and free of salt. If you sail your boat in salt water you will be picking up salt on your sails. ...Once ...

Voyager Sails Cruising News: Do I Want a Loose Footed Mainsail?
http://voyagersails.blogspot.com/2010/08/do-i-want-loose-footed-mainsail.html
Voyager Sails Cruising News. Friday, August 20, 2010. Do I Want a Loose Footed Mainsail? Nowadays we get this question asked a lot. In reality, loose footed mainsails have been around for decades, but they have really come to light on racing boats in the past 15 years or so, and have now become standard procedure on cruising mainsails as well. When reaching, however, making the foot deeper can really add horsepower to the mainsail, and it doesn't matter if you are a racer or a cruiser. I must admit, howe...

Voyager Sails Cruising News: Man Overboard!
http://voyagersails.blogspot.com/2010/08/man-overboard.html
Voyager Sails Cruising News. Friday, August 20, 2010. In almost 40 years of sailing, I have never been on a boat where a person has gone overboard and become completely separated from the boat. Until now, that is. I have got to admit that it is a bit of a life changing experience. In the middle of the night? I think about how many husband and wife couples take their 35'er out together for an evening sail. How many wifes could handle the boat sufficiently by themselves if their husband went overboard?

Voyager Sails Cruising News. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. The Rebirth of Vagabundo.
