Have to agree with all of the comments
local loft trumps name brand
15-25 true unless you’re seriously racing I would think 120 max.
Not sure I would go cross cut dacron even at 25 knots true but something not
too far away.

Mike,
In heavy air, I would tend to stay with Dacron instead of a membrane type sail.
My racing #3 is stiff Dacron. It is strong and will last a long time. The
membrane sails don’t like to be flogged or abused. Tacking in heavy air is
really hard on them. I’d been through a couple of N

I have a North main and a Quantum headsail. North is pricier, but, IMHO, is
better quality.

I agree with Edd. Working with a local sailmaker is nearly priceless. The
only sailloft in Solomons, MD is Quantum. Clark Mckinney was great at
helping me compare other companies estimates and products to optimize value
and function of the Quantum product. Fit, test sail, and revisions were

That being said, your best bet is whichever is local. There's a UK loft on City
Island. They'll come out to my boat, measure, recut, and maintain -- great
support nearby. My next sail will be a U
Mike,
On my 35/3 wityh a 1135 I am reefing at 15 knots and furling the jib down
to a 110 at 20 knots. The boat sails faster and higher if heel is no more
than 20 degrees.
I have a dacron Rolly Tasker 135 that I am happy with. I've never bought
sails from Bacon, but they sell both new dacron and
Hi Mike, I had Thurston sails in Bristol, RI build sails for my Viking 33. I
was very happy with the quality and the service. The price was really good too
as I got a 15 percent boat show discount.
I have no affiliation with Thurston or quantum. My choice to use them was
based on the price.
North but I’m biased - ordered two sails from them over the winter - a radian
main and a norlam XW genoa. Where are you located? Sails are always worth the
investment.
