I recently had a new main done by St Michaels Sails. Not cheap; but, done to my specs with quality materials. The sail was delivered to our marina and owner worked with me to install and check-out. We are very happy with this main sail.

I think Bacon will deliver a decent sail. Know that their sails are made overseas. They may use an offshore material that may not hold up as well. Ask them they will tell you where their sails are made and what material is used. For non-racing weekend sailors a Bacon sail may be just the ticket at an attractive price. Maybe someone else has experience with Bacon sails. I believe they are honest and reliable people. I'm not reluctant to do business with them.

Has anyone had experience ordering a new main from Bacon Sails in Annapolis? Their prices are reasonable but I know nothing about the quality of work they produce.  I notice on their website they offer an offshore main as well as one for coastal cruising. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
