Happy New Year M-boaters, from the shores of beautiful, but very cold, Lake Michigan!
I just took out and looked at the sails for my "new" old M15 for the first time last night. It's just a main and a jib. I was kind of hoping they would look better than they do. They look pretty well used and worn -- around some stress points they seem to be worn partly through. I've never had to purchase sails before. -- I'm just wondering (if anyone happens to know) about how much might I expect to have to pay for a new set? Also, is there a wide variation in price for different makers (i.e., will it pay off to shop around a lot?) Will it be a huge mistake to order from the lowest bidder? Should I order from someone locally (UK Sailmakers is in Chicago--from their website they LOOK expensive!) or does that matter? Any advice appreciated.
