An approach that's applied to all One Design classes, from Optimist to 40' sailboats.</P> <P>The finest sailcloths available are used, compatible with the regulations governing individual classes.</P> <P>All the effort that goes into producing Hood sails may not be enough to ensure you win a regatta, but it will certainly be a great help.</P> <P><STRONG>And remember: "Boat speed makes you a tactical genius".<BR></STRONG></P></TD> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica" vAlign=top align=left width="5%" colSpan=3 height=40><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></TD> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica" vAlign=top align=right width="40%" colSpan=2 height=40><IMG height=188 alt="Centreboard jib" src="http://www.hoodaustralia.com.au/editimages/one01_sm.gif" width=250 align=top border=0><BR><BR><IMG height=188 alt="Keelboat jib" src="http://www.hoodaustralia.com.au/editimages/ACF840B.gif" width=250 align=baseline border=0></TD></TR></TABLE> </body>
