I have sailed across Lake Michigan on a C&C 36 with Sobstad sails
several times. They are good sails and we have held up well. They came
from the Cleveland loft.

Hello all,
Thank you for all the comments regarding sails for For Play. I have
received quotes from 5 different lofts regarding sails and although I
believe you get what you pay for, I also agree with what Joe said
that you are buying a sail maker as well.
Here is a list of quoted sails, I tried to keep it apples to apples as
much as possible,
Daron cruiser/ Wednesday night racer
1Reef, cunningham, Draft stripes, Leach tell tails, full batten on top
and numbers.
Precision 1,030.61 Made in Sri Lanka
Sobstad 1,459.00 Made in Cleveland, OH
North Sails 1,848.00 Made in ?
Doyle 1,800.00 Made in ?
Rolly Tasker 1,398.00 Made in ?
UK Sails 1,745.00 Made in Chicago
I'm leaning towards Sobstad because they are local (1/2 hour drive)
from me,North, Doyal, Rolly Tasker all have lofts in town But the
sails are manufactured elsewhere.
Thoughts from anyone?
