We have owned our C&C 39 TM #39069-74 since Dec of 1975 and took  delivery 
of her in Savannah on 4 Feb 1976. Since then we have purchased race  & 
cruising sails from, Fraker (original suit built for the PO/C&C),  
North/Newport, 
North/San Diego, Gleason, Quantum, Dave Calvert & now UK  Halsey's 
Charleston, SC loft and after all of these years and the many thousands  of 
hard 
earned dollars spent, I have come to the conclusion that you get  exactly what 
you pay for when buying sails. I can honestly say that of all the  lofts 
that I have worked with UK's Charleston loft provided the best service and  
other than Gleason/Hilton Head & the first suit purchased  from North/Newport 
sails were the only folks to offer (and actually show  up) to personally 
measure the boat as well as deliver the sails and insist  on sailing the boat 
so 
that they could see the sails working and tweak as  necessary. The UK sails 
are not cheap, but again at the end of the day you  only get what you pay 
for...Just my opinion.

Chuck,
No Ron did not put me up to it. Funny how small the sailing world is.  He 
is a great guy btw. I have known him for humm... Wow since 1988 when I  got 
my first "big " sail boat (28 Columbia ).
I have raced many times with him over the years. Really knows his  stuff. 
Actually he sold C&C boats before I knew him! 
     I am going with 3DL for a 155% ,replacing a  previous north sail,this 
time with taffeta on one side to hold up better.  They have great discounts 
on 3DL till mar 1st. I am also ordering a #2  (135%) just haven't decided on 
material. Might just go with a norlam  material . Its about a 1k difference 
and I don't think a performance  difference I will notice.
     Mainsails... My boat's sail plan has a tall  skinny main which was the 
design of the time. I believe the 34R is similar  as well. Ron's advice, 
when he designed my main, was to go with norlam. He  felt the main does not 
really drive the boat and 3DL would just be  overkill. After 5 seasons , the 
main still performs well,held its shape,  and looks good. Now if you had your 
mind set on 3DL don't let me sway your  decision. I had a 3DL on my Pearson 
30 and loved it. 
     The nice part of the norlam is its easier to  flake on the boom. Or 
should I say I'm easier on my crew with the norlam  at flaking time!
     Chuck, feel free to drop my name to Ron when you  speak again. I look 
forward to seeing you in AC. Also my club Metedeconk  River YC is on board 
this year to help sponsor . Also my good friend Jim  Walsh will be PRO. He 
runs a great race!

Congratulations!!   
Did Ron Laneve from North Sails ask you to mention that to  me?
I'm considering a new mainsail myself, and we talked just  yesterday.
Are you ordering 3DL?

I look at it being cheaper than marriage counseling.
And luckily here on Lake Champlain in Vermont you can put a  mooring in
wherever you want for free. It's regulated by your access, so our  mooring 
is in Converse Bay in Charlotte, which has a state  fishing/boating access 
ramp. We're allowed to park in the lot  overnight, and we have their one dock 
to tie up the dinghy when we  need to. Moslt of our sailing friends that 
aren't near us or in the 2  nearby marinas moor at Kingsland Bay state park 
where they're allowed  to keep their dinghies on shore at the park.

I pay $3,000/yr just  for my slip. A lot of cruises are a lot less than 
that. Not that I  would go on one for free - just sayin'

Agree except for the  costs of cruises.
I'm fairly sure the cost of maintaining,  improving, slipping and hauling 
my boat annually is about equivalent  to one person on one decent cruise 
(incl airfare).

BTW John,  what is your hull#. Mine is #442.

You  wake up, quietly get in the dinghy with the dogs, push off and drift  
50 feet away before starting the outboard, and head to shore. The  dogs pee 
while you get the morning paper and some coffee from the  coffee shop.
Heading back out to the mooring field with the  morning sun flooding the 
anchorage with an orange glow you gently  climb back aboard to surprise your 
still sleeping wife with the  treats from shore and think you wouldn?t be 
anywhere else for ANY  amount of money. Or the sane people realize they could 
go on a  cruise ship or other expensive vacation two or three times a year  
for what it costs to run the boat. So we the not-quite-right sail on  and the 
sheeple get herded here and there on the latest discount  tour to some 
tourist hell.
