I had very good results with Somerset Sails. They are in NY (Barker, NY,
outside of Buffalo), so not necessarily very local. Not having any local sail
loft where I am, this was the next best. I spent several hours with Martin
discussion what I need and how I want it and he made a couple of very good
sails (135 jib and full batten main). Very competitively priced. E.g. the jib
is radial cut, but the price was better than many normal (parallel) cut sails.
It is a small loft, but I would say, certainly worth a look.
I have no association with him (them).

Mike,
I have a North main and a Quantum headsail. North is pricier, but, IMHO, is
better quality.
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 UK.
All the best,
Edd

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.

Interested in any experience with Quantum, Ullman and North sails. 135 Is
a very stiff (Fibre or Membrane) to handle heavy air 15-25 knots heel and
weather helm worth the investment?
