I send my sails to SailCare every two or three years. They repair anything that needs repair and recondition the sails. They are like new at 20 years old.

Lou,

I have #406 and 4 years ago we replaced the original main sail that was
blown out as the pocket that was near the luff was stretched towards the
aft. It made a great difference in performance and helm.  We replaced the
very worn headsail about 8 years ago.
