I got my headsail From Precision. I'm very happy with the communication and work that they did. In fact, I brought my sail in for storage and inspection to the Quantum Loft near by and he even said it was well built sail. He wanted to trash it but as we opened up on the loft floor he kept point to the good work they did and in the end said "it's a nice sail" I would go with them again if they gave me a good price. Although, I got a nice quote from Neil Pryde on my main, they're only abut an hour away. Turned out I didn't need a new main. My existing sail is a Neil Pryde so, I sent it to him to have a look and he sent it back repaired saying I would get another 5 to 7 years out of it no problem. His price to replace was nearly half what Quantum wanted for the same specifications. I think part of that was that he still had the pattern from when he built the first one so, there was no design time involved. But still, half? I went back to quantum and he tried to say that the sail would be inferior and he'd like to see the quote to compare. So, I sent him the quote and he never responded. Which is sad seeing I'd given him nearly all my business over the years. with the exception of the Precision sail. Danny

There does appear to still be sailmakers in Canada. If you mean literally making sails from scratch, maybe not, but they still would repair sails I would hope. Joe Coquina Ps – anyone remember Haarstick sails? I still have some of their sails, back in the day we really liked them and the furling genoa they made for us was great. That thing was the equivalent of a car with 300,000 miles on it when it finally went to the great sail loft in the sky.

This is the problem, and why Local businesses matter. UKNW in Sidney is still open, nice folks.
