or if that doesn’t work for any reason search “Switchblade Sailing at Blairgowrie” or via my username “thewedgeteam”

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!!E-mail: [email protected]

Hi LeaGreat 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.rochelledover74
