Guys, thank you all so much. I ended up calling Ullman just down the street in  Newport/Costa Mesa. Keith over there committed to having both the main and head sail done by this Thursday night and met me at vessel an hour later to measure and advise. I paid retail to get them in time for Labor Day weekend and opted for the Endurance version. It's 7.0 oz Dacron and better made tan the OEM they make for Catalina . The material has a great ripstop vs regular Dacron. I checked the new material, it's cool but overkill for Southern California use, just less stretch and refuses to rip in a line, if you tear , it tears in 3 directions then stops!! Cool stuff. Paid $6650 plus tax for both. So excited!!!!! Thanks everyone again,
