[Rhodes22-list] Buying sails online...

[Stephen Staum]

I have gotten 2 genoas & a main sail from Doyle in East Greenwich, RI. They
were definitely made on site. He even added a luff pad to my Genoa while I
waited!  The last sail was probably 4 or 5 years ago. The IMF Main cost
$600 & the 130 Genoa was $1,300. Service was excellent. They even repaired
a tear in the Genoa early in its 2nd season at no charge!  The tear was not
their fault but from abrasion. I am very pleased with their quality &
service.
