[C320-list] sail laundry

[Irv Grunes]

Doug,
Re sailcare, we just got a quote for $219 with a 15% discount to be applied
if we got them the sail in December.
Curiouse as to what repairs they made and what was the total cost to you.

Sail Care was great.  I had my main cleaned last year.  They also made
repairs and changed the line on my Dutchman.  The sail looks and sails like
new.  I highly recommend them.
