How do you tell what weight cloth your sails are?
Well as the title suggests how do you tell?..
OK no wise cracks about cutting a square yard out of the middel of my sails to find out either..

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

easy......weigh sail....subtract the weight of boltropes, hanks, cringles etc....divide by the sail area......see , I said it was easy.....
(now Scott, settle down.....wombat season has not yet begun....)

If she is on the trail, can I just play roll over and play dead?!?!?!?!
For a real answer, call Ian at UK there in Anacortes, and see if he will come out and help you figure it out. Maybe play the you need new sails too or some such thing. If you do not have a number, or can not find it, PM me and I'll send it your way.
