This brings up an interesting story. The local sailmakers get's really
irritated when people bring cheap Chinese sails to him to fix. A few years ago,
my girlfriend at the time told me a good friend of hers was really bummed, said
their sailing season was over because the clew of the roller furling main had
pulled out due to UV exposure. The sailmaker had told them he couldn't get to
it till October ( it was June ). She asked me if I could talk to the sailmaker,
as we were friends. When I brought it up with him, he went flying off about
all the crappy sails, these new sailors never buy anything from him but they
want him to fix the junk that they get because they're too cheap to pay for
decent sails, yada yada. Well, by the weekend I heard that they had their
sail back, repaired. Not the end of the story. A few weeks later, the
sailmaker told me he ended up down at a local urgent doctor's office for some
ailment, and the doctor said, how are you doing Dave, but he didn't recognize
him immediately, but it was the fella with the Hunter and the cheap sail!
Needless to say, he was glad that he had fixed that one !.

$1500 is a third of what I paid for my main. Great price! My only concern
would be, do you have the knowledge to detect design or build flaws? If you
found flaws, what would your recourse be?
