[Rhodes22-list] need help with shredded main sail

[Tootle]

Pete,

      It was good to hear from you.  Although the circumstances are not so
good.

      The only way to get another sail in your time frame would be from
Stan.  However, think $1,000.

      The IMF mail sail is a sail of a different cut.  The only two lofts I
know who have made it are Doyle and Lee.  Stan gets his from Doyle at a
manufacturs price and quality, so if I wanted a new sail I would call Stan. 
As far as I know only Doyle makes the new design and it might have to go
thru Stan.

        You can probably get your sail patched into a serviceable shape for
much less.  However, the turnaround time will not make your schedule unless
you have a loft that does repair in the Keys.  Keep in mind that this is the
busy time for sailboat suppliers.
