Hello everyone,

I I am planning to buy a new suit of sails. I have become aware that Most Rhodes 22’s came with Doyle super cruise sails.  I am wondering if I could get some perspective from the list about general quality and durability of  that sail cloth. How long does it last and how long does it keep a decent shape?

My boat sits on a mooring about six months out of the year on a big lake in Minnesota. I do get out there pretty regularly during the summer. It sits shrink wrapped all winter.

I am mostly interested in durability, though performance would be nice as well.

I am planning to purchase the 155 Genoa.  I would take your thoughts on that topic as well.

Many thanks for whatever help or perspective you can give
