Mike, we have hull #347 and have not had this problem. Our is a 2005 so we
are entering our 4th season. We live in a part of the country where we lay
up for winter so I remove the sails each season. We just put the sails back
on last weekend.
Sorry to hear about your problem. I will be keeping an eye on the condition
of our sails this season.
Thanks
John
