Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. Rolly Tasker has given me the
best price by a wide margin. A new Genny shipped to me for $1500, their
'coastal cruising' line.

Question to you all, 5 oz or 6.3 oz dacron?
Dacron UV strip or Sunbrella?

I am leaning towards the 6.3 oz and the sunbrella but maybe that's not a
good idea here on Lake Ontario where the summer is mostly light. I just
want a sail that will last, these are cruising sails. I'm afraid with the
heavier material it'll be harder to fill in light air. How much more
resilient is the sunbrella over the dacron for the UV strip and how much of
a difference is there really between the 5 oz and 6.3 oz in terms of weight
and light air performance? They actually quoted me 5 oz and dacron UV at
first, maybe they know what they're talking about.

Thanks,
Steve
