John and MaryAnn, You've got Neil Pryde Sails In CT. I think Stratford. Great
loft! Bob actually talked me out of buying a new sail and re-stitched mine.
Said "you're good for another 8 or 9 years with this sail. They also priced a
new sail with identical specs to Quantum at about 60% of the cost. This might
have been because he still had the design file from the 1st sail though. I had
bought most of my sails from Thurston. I told him about NP price and at first
he went on about the quality. So, I told him it might be because they still
had the design all done and said, "Let me send you the quote." He said, that
would be good to know to compare the 2. I never heard from him again... I met
Bob, at a boat show. He spent time chatting with us there about our sail. He
remembered my boat from the PO's work and said. I can't believe that sail
needs replacing. He was right. Its 3 years later and the sail is still
great!! I'd give them a call! Danny

In the market for a new or new to me rolling furler genoa prefer a 110
or 115.
Nearest sail lofts are in Newport about an hour drive. North, Quantum, Doyle,
Jasper & Bailey, and others. Also Bacon has a new dacron made by Precision
with foam luff and UV covers that will fit
Any experiences that can be shared?
