[Rhodes22-list] Brad, Michael T, a reply and a question...

[Michael D. Weisner]

Ed,

The Sail Warehouse provides 5.5 oz Dacron mains.  The CruisingDirect main 
was 6 oz.
While I would very much like to find out what makes a good sail for the R22 
and how
much it will cost should I need new sails, how can you "commend Captain 
Rummy for
recommending ‘The Sail Warehouse’" when Nov 13, 2007 at 09:19pm you stated:
    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.

What is the truth in these discussions?  Inquiring minds would like a 
straight answer.
