Alec the sails were very good, I had great speed to windward, but for a few things going wrong on the last day I should have finished in the top ten.
first, second, third, first, in the first four races in a 19 boat fleet, how good is that? the boat went from being very ordinary to climbing to windward of TS2's and Fog's. Great sails made an ordinary sailor look good.
Hi Alec,
I feel I need to share this win with you, I am sure your sails had a definite role regarding the sometimes amazing boat speed I experienced. This was with your newest 4 panel main. In a couple of heats I was at least 2 minutes ahead in a 10 minute race. Steve was using a Martin Firebrace designed Ericca.......see my web site for more info on Martins designs.
Received your sails and immediately installed them, They have great shape and appeared to be exceptionally fast. won first three club races out of the barn. They drew a lot of comments...........please enter a new order for two additional sets.....!
I sailed for the second week with your sails, they are incredible!!! We get very light winds here in Georgia in the summer and the sails respond faster in the light winds than any of the other victoria sails (those include Carr, MPI and Danny Thomas sails) The sails seem to "talk" to me and I can see from afar when they are performing at their optimum. Thanks for a great product!
I received the sails Saturday, and been sailing on Sunday for the first race.
Well done I sailed 6 races 5 times first and one second. They all like very much the shape and the cloth you used.
Thought I would let you know that the A and B sails you made for me at Christmas behave beautifully. The boat appears to be sailing straighter and Quicker. Thanks very much.
I had the opportunity to test the B rig this morning in our weekend practice races and can inform you that I have won all of them, seven, always considerably ahead from the second.
Again from Anibal.
We had last week the St. Peter Regatta, one of the most participated in Portugal.....almost all the big shots showed up......In this two days event we managed to race 28 heats and blackmagick Sails were again on top.
I finished first overall with 5 firsts, 8 seconds, and 1 third.
I admit that I have still work to do on my new boat..but your sails have again proven to be very fast.
My brother Robert ordered from you IOM rig 1 sails, that he sailed today and found your sails very good and four of us want to make the same order.
Hey .....thanks for a great set of sails......I'm now WA State Champ. Conditions ranged from drifters to B rigs ...used the super light main u made for me and it was great.
Alec, I can't believe it! Using Blackmagicksails I was able to come from behind in the last race of the day and win the inaugural Floria State Championships for Victoria class sailboats. We had winds from 0 to 12 knots all day, shifting about 40 degrees at some points. I was able to beat a small (11 boats) but very talented field. In 16 races I had 5 firsts and 5 seconds. Trust me on this, your sails made a difference!
