Join us for the full interview with Joe Cooper on sails. Joe shares his knowledge of sail fabrics, sail manufacturing, and sail selection for us based on our boats, what we aim to use them for, and how long we plan to make our sails last.
The Nonsuch 30 is an oddity. She is a fin keeled, spade ruddered boat with an unstayed wishbone cat rig. Weird.
