thanks, I filled out their form for a mainsail. Unfortunately they have a retail
outlet in Florida so I'm sure they'll want to hit me up for sales tax which is
around 8% here. It'll probably negate any price difference.

I'll follow up when I hear something.

You might try these guys also, their labor costs are probably even lower
than HK's. The guy I used to crew for had his sails made by these folks,
very inexpensive, excellent quality.

Check this out, friends. Hong Kong Sails
www.hksailmakers.com
will make me the following working sails and for cheaper
than Sailwarehouse. The quality appears better with two
rows of reef points in the main plus insignia and sail
numbers and draft stripe.

I thought sails were much more expensive than this. But I guess
there are so many Coronado 27s out there sailing the oceans
of the world that sailmakers can mass-produce our sails and
sell them for cheaper than for most boats a few of which were
ever made before the design either failed or became obsolete.

of less than 100)
