David,
We have sails on order with the UK loft for spring delivery for our C&C
35-3. UK is building a 140% Genoa of 7.3 oz high modulus dacron with a
foam luff, UV sun shield, sail numbers and tell tail windows. The main
is 8.3 oz high mod with 4 full battens, 2 reef points, sail numbers, C&C
logo and cunningham. UK will transfer all of the Tides Strongtrack
hardware to the new main. Both come with sail bags.
We had a UK Genoa and North Main on our Redwing 35 (C&C 35-1). The
North took three tries to get it right. It was a good sail when they
finally got it right bit it was frustrating. The UK sail was perfect
out of the bag.
Both of the sails are still flying on Joe Della Barba's C&C 35-1.
Our sails are being finished in the Chicago loft.

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.
