Chris,

That seems like the right ball park.  

I was just reading an article on Dacron sails.  Sounds line there are four tiers 
of cloth.  Tier one and two do a far better job holding their shape but cost 
more.  Most lofts seem to be quoting tier three or four though so they can be 
competitive.

would like to use a local sailmaker, and I do respect the one we have here in 
Tulsa, OK.  For a 135 furling dacron genoa and a loose footed, fully battoned 
main, is $4000 in the ballpark for a reasonable price?
