I got a sail from precision sail loft this spring that I'm very happy with so 
far.  
Canadian loft designed it,  built overseas in the same loft as quantum.  Fit 
perfect,  rolls up nice,  moves the boat forward...  I got a 135% highest end 
cloth with all the bells and whistles.  Luff tape,  sunbrella, reinforced 
everything.  $3500ish for my 40 footer delivered.

Jean-Francois — a correction: Rolly Tasker is NOT “direct order from China".  
They use the same cloth (Challenger, Bainbridge, etc.) as virtually all other 
sailmakers; but their loft is in Phuket, Thailand.

Hi Rick, 

If you are comfortable with Chinese sailcloth you might want to contact 
IslandPlanet http://islandplanetsails.com/ Island is out of Florida and Peak 
Sails  www.peaksailsna.com  and Peak is out of Virginia (Closer to you) 

They seem to be a good compromise between the direct order from china like 
Rolly Tasker and the traditional loft.  It looks like they offer services 
similar to a traditional loft but the cloth and sails do come from China with 
associated discounts. I have talked to Island Planet before and the vibe was 
positive.. Both seem to get pretty consistent positive reviews online. 

Another pretty competitive loft that's more like a discount North is Shurr 
Sails http://www.schurrsails.com/default.asp  out of Pensacola Florida.  Their 
sails are quite popular on the lake here. The Main guy: Hunter Riddle has a 
really good reputation as a designer of innovative and fast sails.. Their 
cruising sails have a good reputation for solid build and reasonable price. 


Good Luck with it.
