I have a 30' S2, 1984. It's in good shape, but after my
first season, a little cruising, some club racing, and a bunch of
day sails on Narragansett Bay, I'm realizing I need new sails. The original 135 genoa is shot. The more recent 155 genny it came with is ok, but needs some repairs. And the mainsail, maybe original, works ok and stitching looks good, but I can't get it flat enough; there's always a little sag near the boom.
I need a new smaller genny, 110-130 (roller furled) for weather AND a mainsail. But I can't afford that at once, even used in good condition.
Your opinions welcome: should I spring for a mainsail that's new Dacron and will give me the shape I need, not sag? Or is the genoa more critical?. I'm hoping to point better, and get more out of the main, which isn't doing much now I'm afraid. And I think the 155 genny is making it hard to point.
