Hi Slow Hand,

Sorry, I don’t know of dynacloth. I will have to check it out and get back to your with my thoughts on it.

Have been considering using a ‘Crows foot weave’ for some of the corner fillets joints though as it is far superior to standard weave in any area where you need the cloth to hold a bend while wet.

Saw a demo at the boat show in WA a couple of years ago.

Am trying to find a supplier with the lightest weight cloth it comes in (I’m told about 130gsm maybe lighter). I’ve only been able to find 200gsm + so far.

Did you ever try the crows foot weave?

If you could get it in a 2oz equivalent, it would make a far stiffer hull than standard woven cloth, due to the way the crows foot is woven.

Regards . . .

Hi all,
I have undertaken to make a small video documentary to promote Sabres to potential new sailers and to use for my own club promotion purposes. What I seek at present is short comments from anyone regarding why you choose to sail a Sabre. Please make any comments you want here on the forum or e-mail me. Please include your real name so I can quote you personally. A pic of you or you with your boat would be good too. If you have any interesting/funny video clips of Sabre sailing that are not already on YouTube would you please post them there or mail them to me on a DVD disc. I will interpret your response here or by mail or e-mail to mean that you are happy to see your comments and pics in the Video. You will receive a copy when finished.
Happy sailing!!

Hi Lea

Great idea, we are starting the Sabre class at East Fremantle Yacht Club here in Perth this season and would love to get a copy of your video when you finish it. This would be great to play on the TV’s in the bar and let the 2000 members know what a Sabre is and promote the class to a wide audience.
Please let me know if you would be will to let us use it when you finish.

Hello ‘Guest Member’,
Who are you?? Thanks for the response. So that I can get the details right in my video would you please tell me what the abbreviations BRYC (…Yacht Club) and PDSC (…Sailing Club) stand for.

As you suggest, I will look at the State links to find out more.

Thanks for the info!
Lea

PDSC = Perth Dinghy Sailing Club
