Two years ago i bought a new Nordac 3Di 135 furling genoa from North. It
was not cheap  but it is fantastic. . Ive never sailed with a sail that
needs less tweaking which is awesome for single handing. Groove is wide and
predictable.  Sent the measurements and perfect fit first time.  My old
sail was pretty bagged out and I couldn't believe the difference in
handling and weather helm this new sail has made.  Switching out my old
Michegan Sailor fixed prop for a FlexoFold and the new headsail is like
having a new boat!  If this 3Di sail lasts as long as my previous sail, it
will be well worth the cost.

Having a local sail loft can't be a bad thing to factor into your decision
