We got the Asym loaded in the sock this weekend and then flew it for the first time. It was easy to fly and performed very well although I have a long way to go learning how to properly trim it. My wife (who designed the colors and layout) loves the look of the sail and said that this is the sail she has wanted since we purchased the boat in 2014.

Thanks!

Just want to thank your staff for the guidance they gave for the new Main and Genoa for my Catalina 30. The Genoa and Mainsail have greatly improved the boats performance and the quality of the sails is really top notch. The sails fit perfectly and we’ll be ordering the Spinnaker shortly.

Thanks again!
Happy Sailing!

I wanted to provide you with an update on my new sail. I received it undamaged and well packaged. with my new sail I completed my first ocean crossing, three days at sea from Panama City to Ft. Myers. The sail sets beautifully and drives my old tank with authority. I am extremely pleased with my new Main. I will recommend your loft to all of my cruising friends.
Thank You for an outstanding mainsail and I look forward to many miles under my keel.
Thank you and everyone at FX Sails

Thanks,
Captain Troy Young
