Re: Stus-List New sails for C 34
No matter who or what you decide on, give the service and support of a local loft considerable preference. IMO there is nothing like getting immediate service, personal and professional measurements, test sails, revisions, and repairs.

Re: Stus-List New sails for C 34
Jay, am in Whitby and went through this last year with the help of the good people here and others. See blog for discussion. http://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2016/10/mainsail-decision-made.html?m=1 http://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2016/10/mainsail-specification-rig-photos.html?m=1 Am happy I ordered the main from a local loft. I also need to order a headsail and may go with Rolly Tasker in Thailand. (Good experience with them for custom a-chute) Best of luck.

Re: Stus-List New sails for C 34
Jay, My suggestion is - shop around. The prices for reasonably decent sails vary quite a bit. You are in a bit better place than I (there are some sail lofts in Toronto), but you may find that mail-ordering works quite well. There is a discount sail loft right on the other side of the boarder (Somerset Sails, in Barker, NY). He makes reasonable sails at very reasonable price (about half of what a local Doyle dealer quoted). Of course, it would be your measurements, so measure twice and then check again. Before you seriously consider used sails, do shop around.

Stus-List New sails for C 34
I’m considering getting new mainsail and 135% genoa (furling) for my 1980 C 34. Current main & genoa are bagged out & not in top shape. I’m a cruiser, not a racer, so Dacron would be fine for my needs. As would partial battens on the main I believe. A couple of questions for the community: 1. I’m sailing out of Toronto, Ontario - any suggestions for local lofts? 2. Any chance of finding used sails still in good enough condition? 3. Any general suggestions regarding purchase of a new suit of sails?
