Oh one more thing, I'd recommend getting a price from precision. They'll help
make aye your measuring is within reason. They spent hours on the phone with
me for the replacement of that RT I was trelling you about. You can get an
online quote within hours. They'd give you 3 300, 400 & 500 series pricing.
I imagine they'll be right there with RT. They're are Canada based so may
ashtray have a pattern for your boat.
Again I have no stake in precision sails other than having a brand new, unused
sail from them in the next room!

Hey all -
As part of the long list of refinements and upgrades we need to make on the
Safari, we’re looking at getting a new main sail from Rolly Tasker via National
Sails in FL. Here’s the details of the quote:
C&C 34 (Does anybody feel like confirming that I’ve got these measurements
correct?)I = 44’J = 14P = 38.25E = 10.92
Fully Battened Mainsail - Challenge 8.3oz High Modulus Dacron, 2 reefs -
$1,459Comes with leech lines with clam cleats, tell tales, flo-stripes*, and
sail bags. Construction includes triple-stitched seams, large radial corner
reinforcements, with handsewn leather chafe protection.
Seems like 8 out of 10 folks have overall positive experience with RT sails.
There are scattered reports of quality issues, but I’m inclined to see that as
a risk of any production sail loft. Have any of you ordered from them before?
What’s been your experience? I’m inquiring about adding a cunningham and seeing
what our options are for the slugs. Are there other options you’d recommend I
request?
Before anybody suggests I go to a custom sailmaker to get a super high quality
sail, the price is really what we can afford right now; if we need to spend
more money to get a decent sail then we’ll have to wait another season or two
to replace our (very tired) main. Willing to do that if enough folks wave us
off RT, but hoping this could be a great solution for our casual cruising needs!
