T&T: steadying sail

[Balamar@aol.com]

We had one made out of tan bark colored Dacron four years ago.  It  really 
helps take the roll off while underway.  The normal roll seems to  accelerate 
its self.  With the sail set this oscillation is interrupted so  the next roll 
does not feed off the previous roll.  We always set ours when  crossing an open 
body of water or when going outside in the ocean.  It was  only a couple of 
hundred bucks to have made.  It is a little less than 50  square feet. We have 
a DeFever 41.
