We don’t keep score and everyone is out to have a good time.  To me that’s an ideal use for a practice sail.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2734021655729925858/633129973220524752/comments/default/8979437753054306041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2734021655729925858/633129973220524752/comments/default/8979437753054306041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.apsltd.com/2010/07/aps-sails.html?showComment=1280422495600#c8979437753054306041' title=''/><author><name>James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01139435789491670192</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wWwbzOXStRg/STlGRs7PKnI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/QFzN3lhwWu8/S220/James.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.apsltd.com/2010/07/aps-sails.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734021655729925858.post-633129973220524752' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2734021655729925858/posts/default/633129973220524752' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-52441035'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734021655729925858.post-6244336166372626127</id><published>2010-07-28T16:11:08.812-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T16:11:08.812-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Practice sails are great for practice, but cannot ...</title><content type='html'>Practice sails are great for practice, but cannot be used for races (including TESOD) using standard US Sailing rules.  I hope you withdrew yourself from the race, or your fellow competitors protested you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;78.1 states your boat should be maintained to comply with class rules.  Class rules say only to use class-legal sails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Help support the class, ensure fair racing and only use a class-legal sail when racing.  It helps keep the costs of class sails down and ensures the class stays vibrant and protects the investment we&amp;#39;ve all made in our boats.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2734021655729925858/633129973220524752/comments/default/6244336166372626127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2734021655729925858/633129973220524752/comments/default/6244336166372626127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.apsltd.com/2010/07/aps-sails.html?showComment=1280347868812#c6244336166372626127' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.apsltd.com/2010/07/aps-sails.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734021655729925858.post-633129973220524752' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2734021655729925858/posts/default/633129973220524752' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1306375348'/></entry></feed>
