Pinnell and Bax Sails

After much research into which sail manufacturer to go with and a great tip-off from Stuart Hopson I decided to go with Pinnell and Bax. Even though they are not well known for Cherub sails they have a lot of experience with the similar International 14 sails. I found most manufactures fairly vague when it came to actually designing the sails to suit my mast and the dimensions of Cheese. What really impressed me with P&B is that I was able to drop Cheese of with them and they designed manufactured and fitted the sails to match the exact shape, foredeck height, mast position, mast bend etc. They have even offered to carry out any slight mods required free or charge should they be necessary! They have designed an interesting leach on the jib to help increase the area, the overlap on the mast is about 130mm (see clew plate and batten on the pics). I sailed with the new set for the first time today and they are brilliant. I am looking forward to some racing to get in idea of the improvement around a course.
