If you’re looking at NorDac, make sure you know what you’re getting.  The 
material is bulletproof: thick, stiff and bulky.  The main cover made for my 
previous dacron main does not fit over my NorDac main.

Two years ago i bought a new Nordac 3Di 135 furling genoa from North. It was 
not cheap  but it is fantastic. . Ive never sailed with a sail that needs less 
tweaking which is awesome for single handing. Groove is wide and predictable.  
Sent the measurements and perfect fit first time.  My old sail was pretty 
bagged out and I couldn't believe the difference in handling and weather helm 
this new sail has made.  Switching out my old Michegan Sailor fixed prop for a 
FlexoFold and the new headsail is like having a new boat!  If this 3Di sail 
lasts as long as my previous sail, it will be well worth the cost.

 

Having a local sail loft can't be a bad thing to factor into your decision

Good Morning,

 I was hoping to get the group's thoughts on new sails for For Play. I have 
received quotes from Precision, UK, North Sails and Sobstad. 

Precision is the cheapest followed by Sobstad, I'm leaning towards Sobstad 
because they make the sails here not in a foreign country and they are local to 
me. 

When getting quotes I tried to keep the pricing apples to apples as best I 
could, Dacron cruiser club racing sail, single reef, draft stripe, Cunningham, 
full top batten, numbers, loose foot.

Any input would be appreciated.
