Bev,
It would be helpful if you tell us how you sail. Mostly cruising? Are you
prone to dropping sails when the breeze gets really high? Etc. Etc.
Sail choice is always a compromise between performance, longevity, budget and
other factors.

>Hello listers,

>weekend cruisers with no thoughts of racing. At this point we are planning on
>a new main and a furling genoa - 130%. What sailmakers do you recommend? What
>are the important questions to
ask the sailmakers? What are your preferences for main sail
reefing? (Not mast or boom furling.)I think we currently have one line slab
reefing. Are there standard measurements for a C&C 37? Do we really need to be
measured. Is this a subject that has been covered recently? If so, is there
a way I can find it in the archives?
>Thanks everyone.
