Stus-List Re: Precision Sails

I agree with the local loft sentiment. Precision sails has good prices if all you want is a basic sail but everything (reef points, reinforcing, better sail cloth, bags, etc) is additional and it adds up. By the time you add the features the price was close to what Doyle had to offer here in MA. I

Sorry, just saw that you want a spinnaker. I just bought an asym for my boat. Precision was a bit less than Doyle but I talked Doyle down in price just by stating my budget and that the quote was just too high. Came in under 3 boat bucks including the launching tube and bag. Decided to stay loca

By tightening or loosening the forestry, you affect weather or lee helm. We had a little too much weather helm for my liking, so I tightened the forestay, probably reducing the forestay length by about 1/2". It doesn't sound like much, but it got my weather helm just where I like it (a little, but

North, Doyle and Michelle Stevens lofts still build sails locally in Nova Scotia. There may be a couple of others as well in business (maybe a UK loft near Lunenburg and one other?) The big question though is do sails have to self isolate for 14 days if travelling from Ontario to Nova Scotia?
