Hello, I am sure we have been there and done that, but please indulge me...
Going through the process of shopping for new sails. Not a small budget item for a 40. Know the arguments of local vs. national vs. offshore. Cruising with offshore racing and cruising with occasional beer can. Main and 125%. Leaning toward high quality Dacron cross-cut as they are easier to repair and I do not want to get into the laminates. Blew a big budget on those years ago Specific questions are regarding cloth choices generally and specifically as C & C have tall skinny mains (especially the 40). What has been your experiences with the differing sail lofts? I am getting prices with 50% swings and that is a bit mind-boggling as I am getting information that many sails are built in the same lofts overseas and re-branded. I am sure that is an over-simplification, but there it is. Difficult to compare pricing with the cloth specs being a foreign language to me. Thanks in advance. David F. Risch (401) 419-4650
