Farewell to the old main sail

The last big job was putting up our brand new main sail, we needed a day with no wind for this. Unfurling (the sail stays in the mast, wrapped around a furler) the old main sail and taking out the 5 battens that ran the full height of the sail, then dropping the sail and trying to fold it up. The sail had done well, being from 2003 but was baggy and frequently jammed in the mast. Putting up the new one was easier and finally we were ready to go sailing!
Last look at the old main sail....looking a bit sad and saggy
