 "SKULDUGGERY" & John Withers both in action - with new Genoa ! At the recent Poole Yacht Clubs Regatta. I would like you to tell all at Kemps how very pleased we are with the new Power Main, the stack pack and lazy jacks. The whole parcel was waiting for us in Vilamoura when we arrived, it had taken only two days to get here. As soon as we could we fitted the bag and the lazy jacks, I did not fit the lazy jacks to the mast as this would have meant looking for a pop riveter, but instead I bought out Barton stay cleats with an eye in them and attached these to the top mast stays very high up, and the system works very well. Next we fitted the main and WOW! what a lovely shape. Then we went sailing and had to reef down to the first reef, but Keewaydin fairly flew, 23 knots apparent wind at times and over 6 knots just free. The conditions have been like that since we fitted the main, enjoyable sailing with about 2.5 metres swell, but we do want to sail under the full main. I found your papers on how to set up the main and tune the rig very helpful. I should never have doubted that the main would fit perfectly first time, you assured me that it would, and you were right. So glad I came to see you bat the Boat Show! We are delighted with the sail and can't wait for the opportunity to sail under the full rig. Please thank all concerned. |

Many thanks to everyone involved in the production of our 2 Packaway systems. They were delivered as promised on Wednesday and are now fitted and look fantastic. Thanks again for your help in meeting our date to enable us to set off for our long distance cruising. |

I received my new genoa from you this friday - well ahead of the expected delivery date. I used the sail this weekend and am delighted with the results. It fitted perfectly, set very well and probably added 1/2 knot to boat speed and allowed us to point 5 or so degrees higher. Thanks for such excellent service. |

Thank you very much for your prompt attention to our concerns about our new mainsail. Your visit and advice was very much appreciated by Ian and me. We have sorted out the cunningham as you suggested and find it very effective and easy to use. We have also modified the gooseneck fitting to take up the slack and this has made a substantial difference to luff tension allowing us to refit a snap shackle to the main halyard. Just thought I should let you know your time was not wasted. We managed to outpoint a Bavaria 38 trying very hard so we were pleased with our afternoon! |

The sails are excellent and my boat sails better than she ever has. |
