Yep, that's got to be it, thanks Jim. My boat spent the first 40 years of its life in Traverse City. It must have needed a new mainsail in 1982.

Randy, I am pretty sure that your "Irish" sail was made by Irish Boat Shop on Little Traverse Bay in Michigan. They are still around, but no longer make sails. I have a spinnaker that was made by them as well, it's actually signed by David Irish on one of the clews. Mine has a cloverleaf logo in green. When I first bought the sail, there was a reference to one of their employees that used to sew the sails, but I take it she has retired now. You can check them out at www.irishboatshop.com .

I've always wondered about the makers of the sails that came in my boat's inventory (C&C 30 MK I hull #7, built September 1972). Thanks to your comment I now know about Hood Sails and Ed Botterell. I've got a #1 genoa (~165%) and a storm jib from Hood Sails. I've also got a working jib and a short (spinnaker pole topping lift) staysail from Boston Sails presumably of Sarnia, Ontario ( http://www.doyleboston.com/about.html ). Was it common for early C&Cs to be fitted with sails from those Lake Ontario -area sailmakers? Anyone ever heard of a sailmaker named "Irish"? (that's the logo on my mainsail, which according to the year stamped on its sail bag was made in 1982).

Violeta, One of the photos from Martin's link is quite historic (they are all historic, of course, but one more than the others). See attached. It shows Blair Vedder (owner), Erich Bruckmann (builder), Mark Ellis (C&C custom sales), and Ed Botterell (Hood sialimaker). I wish I had a higher resolution copy of this photo.
