It's time to replace the main and genoa on my 38 mk2 (and I actually have
the money to do it).

 

I'm more of a cruiser than a racer any more. I only do about 4 charity races
a year, and have been adding cruising gear to the boat for trips to the
Bahamas (and Bermuda next June). So I guess I'm looking for durable sails
that still give me good performance - but not a set of racing sails. 

 

My old main is a Neil Pryde main with 5 full battens and a Tides Marine
Strong Track system that has given good service over more than 10 years.
I've retired the carbon 155 genoa and am using a roller furling 135 headsail
right now.

 

I've asked for a quote from the sailmaker I've used in the past (Omar Sails
in New Bern, NC). Based on recent positive comments on the list I've also
contacted Dirk Sharland at Rolly Tasker Sails in Florida. And because of my
experience with the Neil Pryde main I've contacted their loft in Hampton,
VA.

 

I'm looking for a good balance of performance, durability, and cost. Pretty
much weighted in that order.

 

I'm open to suggestions about features I should look for, and other lofts
from which I should request information and a quote.
