Hello Listers,
Just as an FYI / data point, I bought a new mainsail for Grenadine this
offseason. I couldn’t justify the cost of a pure racing sail made of exotic
material, so my criteria were a general-purpose durable high-performance sail
of the right weight for the winds at Chatfield Reservoir. I ended up with a
sail made by Hyde Sails from 7.38 Challenge Premium Dacron Sailcloth - High
Mass Fiber Weave (~7.1 oz).
The sail was measured, designed, and ordered by a guy (Trey Hegstrom) in my
yacht club and marina who does that as a side gig. A picture, and
specifications, are at

about $1,700.
And I’m hoping it’s a lucky charm, because we won the first race of the season
last night by a country mile (mostly due to a good tactical decision at the
start, I think). Beat the fleet by some five minutes in a one-hour race.
Also I sent two of my headsails to Sailcare over the offseason, and was very
pleased with that company and the results of their work on my sails.
