[C320-list] Sail Care

[sailorlew at aol.com]

Sail Care makes an old blown out sail look good, but it is still an old blown out sail that just looks good. Skip Sail Care for 2 to 3 years & you have money to buy new sails. I have a Catalina 28 that I just purchased 2 new sails for. I had Doyle make me a 2 + 2 batten main with a performance roach,& 1 reef point out of Bainbridge High Aspect Dacron ( there are 4 grades of Dacron, Performanc Cruise, High Modulus, High Aspect, & Marblehead) & a mylar laminate tape drive 145 for $3100. In my opinion spending that much money for just cosmetic reasons does not make sense.

 tried Sail Care for the first time, my 12 year old main did not shrink and
 frankly looks like new. I was spending $750.00 with Quantum and was
 surprised at the bill of slightly over 1K for sail care, but when I saw the
 results yesterday they were phenomenal! Based on my one time experience I
 would highly recommend them, no longer Quantum Annapolis.

 Sail Care was great to work with, but I would not recommend them
