[Rhodes22-list] Buying sails online...

[mm.bizlist1 at gmail.com]

For what it's worth, I ordered both a mainsail and genoa from Precision
Sails for my previous boat, a San Juan 21.  In both cases the sails were not
cut correctly and had to be replaced.  I will say that Precision took full
responsibility for the errors and sent me new sails without any further
problems.  Their prices are very competitive, especially around
Thanksgiving.

In 2020, I ordered a furling headsail (115) on-line from Precision Sails in
Sidney, BC. Very positive experience! They sent me forms to fill out with
full and complete instructions regarding the measurements needed.  A
designer was assigned to me and worked with me throughout the process. The
sail was delivered from Asia, and it was perfect.  I did order the sail in
October for a Spring delivery and there was a nice discount.

I had a similar experience when I tried to contact several Doyle lofts that
were relatively close to me.  I finally got a quick response when I reached
out to the Salem, MA loft.  My contact at the time was Chris Howes.  The
website shows that he is still there.  Email is chowes at doylesails.com.

I ordered a 130% genoa and a UPS.  I never specifically asked, but my
impression was they were made in Salem.  The labels do not say 'Barbados' on
them.
