[C320-list] New Sails

[argates2nd at comcast.net]

We bought a new 155 genny 2 years ago from Atlantic Sail Traders in Sarasota, FL which had been recommended by a dock mate who had sails made there. It is an hour from our boat and the rep came 4 times to the boat: one to measure, one to install, and two more trips to tweek the fit. So, I like local and having the sail made in the off season saved 30%+. Rollie #182

I agree with the notion of going local. It may cost a bit more but if the sails need tweeking you know where to go. I know some horror stories of folks who have ordered from away. Also supports the local economy.
