[C320-list] Mainsail Upgrade for my c320

[Kaare Wold]

Our experience with North Direct was very good.  We purchased a main and 150 
genoa for our previous boat, Pearson 28.  We found the customer service very 
good and the sail quality excellent.  The jib did have about 24" of seam 
that was not stitched properly and North insisted that we return it for 
immediate repair. (all at their expense).  They did not want us to take it 
to a local loft for a minor repair.  Have no complaints and we will 
certainly consider them when Sheet Music needs new sails.
