I'll second for UK. We got a new main and 145
genny from, Stewart at UK Sails NW in Sidney
BC. He gave us a Boat show discount in August
and that, along with the exchange rate. Made it a great deal.
We don't race, but I love the sails. They were
made in the Chicago loft as well. He even
brought them down the us in Vashon Island,
outside of Seattle, and set them up. This was
especially good due to my prior nightmare with
our main due to a bad build for the Schaefer In Boom furling set up.
They are shown here -

preventer set up here for a second as well.

At the end of last season we decided to replace
our unknown age sails (came with the boat) and
got quotes from North, Precision, Rolly Tasker
and UK Sails. Our previous boat had a North
Main and UK Genoa (now with Joe D.). We liked
both but the UK Genoa was a real favorite. The
UK Sails were manufactured in the Chicago
loft. They came out and measured the boat to
make the sails. We weren't sure we would get
the sails since Illinois was shut down tighter
than Michigan but they worked on sails orders
while "making PPE". The only thing that they
missed was putting on Sail Numbers and the logo
on the main. They are taking the sails back now
that the season is over to add the numbers and
logo. They are even adding draft stripes to make up for the miss.
The sails have met all of our expectations and
it is nice having a "local" loft to deal with.
