[C320-list] Qantum or Evolution Sails

[Annie Bennett]

Thanks for your reply Jim.  I'm glad you were pleased with your  
sails.  It's good to know what others have done.  My dilemma was that  
a friend had been very pleased with his Qantum sails (which was why I  
called them) but when I asked him further, he said they had actually  
been measured, cut and set up by someone who had since left Qantum to  
join Evolution, a new company.  This person came to the boat yesterday  
to measure up and I was impressed so am going to go with Evolution.   
Looking forward to having a loose footed main.
