Jay,

My suggestion is - shop around. The prices for reasonably decent sails vary 
quite a bit. 

You are in a bit better place than I (there are some sail lofts in Toronto), 
but you may find that mail-ordering works quite well.

There is a discount sail loft right on the other side of the boarder (Somerset 
Sails, in Barker, NY). He makes reasonable sails at very reasonable price 
(about half of what a local Doyle dealer quoted).

Of course, it would be your measurements, so measure twice and then check again.

Before you seriously consider used sails, do shop around.

Good luck

Subject: Stus-List New sails for C&C 34

I’m considering getting new mainsail and 135% genoa (furling) for my 1980 C&C 
34. Current main & genoa are bagged out & not in top shape. 
I’m a cruiser, not a racer, so Dacron would be fine for my needs. As would 
partial battens on the main I believe.
A couple of questions for the community:
1. I’m sailing out of Toronto, Ontario - any suggestions for local lofts?
2. Any chance of finding used sails still in good enough condition?
3. Any general suggestions regarding purchase of a new suit of sails?

Many thanks
