This customer added the bowsprit to his Evelyn 32
and had us produce this Asymmetric Chute
Net Gain....Enormous power in light air

We built all the other sails including
the Roller Furling Pentax Genoa
the Mainsail
& another Spinnaker

 Hi Martin,
 Here are the first pictures of the new sail. 
Light air, which is what we mostly get over here. 
We have been out in a couple of races where it was blowing 22. 
That was a bit scary, what with a new sail and all. 
But we did O.K. and, more importantly, the sail held up fine. 
I'd be curious about any comments you might have. 
Assuming we have the luff set O.K. for the conditions,
I guess we could have had it a little longer on the hoist. 
Trial and error is definitely the order of the day at the moment,
and we're having fun with it.  By the way, that's your main,
or the 2 square feet of it you see on one of the pics. 
 
Bob
