More often than not, races are won – and lost – upwind. So when Mike Mannix began replacing sails for Harp, his Catalina 38, he began with a 125% genoa from Pineapple Sails, and then added a new mainsail.
Mike has been racing Harp on San Francisco Bay for over 15 years. The boat is well maintained and well prepared - his crew is competent and steady. And the importance of fast sails understood completely.
Harp placed first in division J in the 2000 YRA/HDA season.
And to face the lighter breezes of winter racing head on, Mike added a new Pineapple #1 genoa last fall- a Kevlar sail for maximum performance.
Not to harp on the subject, but... Pineapple Sails are fast!
