[Rhodes22-list] Buying new sails

[Peter Nyberg]

If you’re going to go with Doyle, I’d suggest you contact Chris Howes in the Salem, MA loft.  (chowes at doylesails.com <mailto:chowes at doylesails.com>).

Over this past winter, I replaced my obviously beat 175% genoa with a 135% genoa and a UPS.  I initially tried contacting a couple of closer lofts via email, and got no response from either.  I then emailed a general Doyle contact address, and Chris responded quickly.  I believe he said at some point that he’s the official Doyle contact for the Rhodes 22.  

My boat isn’t in the water yet, so I can’t comment on the new sails other than to say they look nice.
