Hello all, Thank you for all the comments regarding sails for For Play. I have received quotes from 5 different lofts regarding sails and although I believe you get what you pay for, I also agree with what Joe said that you are buying a sail maker as well. Here is a list of quoted sails, I tried to keep it apples to apples as much as possible, Daron cruiser/ Wednesday night racer 1Reef, cunningham, Draft stripes, Leach tell tails, full batten on top and numbers. Precision 1,030.61 Made in Sri Lanka Sobstad 1,459.00 Made in Cleveland, OH North Sails 1,848.00 Made in ? Doyle 1,800.00 Made in ? Rolly Tasker 1,398.00 Made in ? UK Sails 1,745.00 Made in Chicago
I'm leaning towards Sobstad because they are local (1/2 hour drive) from me,North, Doyal, Rolly Tasker all have lofts in town But the sails are manufactured elsewhere. Thoughts from anyone? Lewis Cooke S/V For Play C&C 30-1 Hull #45 Lorain, OH
