I have been following the sail replacement discussions. I have been trying to post to the C320
For Sale site, but having trouble with the pictures. The below listing may be of interest.

After reading the very helpful article on cloth, I spoke with Mack and
eventually ordered sails from them - marblehead 135 furling jib and high aspect
main, loose foot, one set of reef points. I also ordered the Mack pack. Bird
dogs aren't much help sailing, so I normally single-hand while they watch. I'm
hopeful that this setup will match my circumstances. The total price is going
to be right around $5,000, delivered to OK from FL. They should be here in a
couple of weeks.
Thanks for all the help.
