And another February rainy-month milestone...

The new main is mounted.

Of course the day I raised the sail was breezy. But it made it all the way up.

The sail is from Doyle. Fit looks pretty good.

Really nice numbering and Catalina 250 logos.

Looks good. I'll likely buy a new main soon. Mine is original and has really seen better days. I'm kicking myself for not taking the CD 20% discount last fall, but I actually thought I'd be selling the boat to transition to a larger coastal cruiser. What made you choose Doyle rather than Ulman? Just curious-- I bought a new US main for my previous C25 and really liked it. It made an incredible difference in the way the boat handled. I'm counting on the same difference when I put a new main on the 250.

Good to hear you had success with the prior sail purchase.

The boat is new to me since December 2016 and it came with the new Doyle sail. I do not know the back story as to why the boat required a new sail at the time of sale.

Just glad it appears to fit. As the second party I don't believe I would have any recourse if it did not fit.

BTW - I see in your sig that your home port is Lake Belton. I spent some very early years living in Temple on Zenith Drive. Some of my earliest memories are of my Dad taking me and my brothers fishing on the Leon River below the dam. I also have a memory of some place up on the lake that had a pool with huge catfish in it... I've been gone from there since '66 so these memories are getting a bit foggy.
