[Rhodes22-list] Sails

[Tootle]

Rhodies,

Stan demands a high quality fabric.  Yes, that fabric costs more that that
quoted from Cruising Direct.  Keep in mind that some of his sails in use
still have numbers on them.  What is that old addage, you get what you pay
for?

You say that you do not want to pay for that extra quality.  Just get caught
in blow... It only has to happen one time.  Newbies need to know that
sometimes things happen very fast.  Of course you may not be around for the
reorder.

Most of the lofts have different qualities.  I recall years ago hearing that
the main was 8 oz.  I recall several members of this forum extolling their
Lee Sails.  Keep in mind that Stan shops around, and if he gets messed over,
finds someone who meets his quality standard.  Currently that is Doyle.

Also, when was the last time that someone who got new sails from Stan
complained that were wrong size and had to go back for adjustments.

Addendum:
"Fostering courage and taking the initiative require ongoing nurturing and
practice, ensuring that you're prepared to act when needed. And yet, it's
the dedication to these practices and refinement techniques that can foil
even the most ardent of learners! Rather than be overwhelmed by the demands
of "the great task," remember Lao Tzu's wise advice: "The journey of 1,000
miles begins with one step." Practice taking that one step, and then another
really can take you closer to perfection."  Jamie Walters
