[C320-list] New Cruising Mainsail

[Ray Durand]

I got both a main and jib from FX Sails last year.  Saved some $, but had
problems getting the main to fit, wrong slugs, etc.  In the end I would up
with sails that I'm happy with, but next time I think I'll work with a local
loft and let them make sure it gets done right.

John,

I spoke to the Chicago lofts for North, Doyle, and UK. North was very 
expensive even for plain-jane dacron sails, UK kept trying to talk me 
into racing sails, and Doyle actually tried to talk me out of a material 
that was a bit more racing oriented ($$$) than I needed for my cruising 
purposes. I like they way I was treated by Doyle and the fact that they 
didn't try to up-sell.

in Florida), FX Sails or North Sails Direct? Any other recommendations? Our
cruising area is Southern California.
