Inexpensive sails - Ole Thom.
We went over the ways in which my sails differed from the stock
sails delivered on an IP, a dedicated cruising boat. Details in a cruising
sail matter also, and you gotta make sure you get what you want.
Skitch, most sailmakers will come down to a boat if the owner wants, but the
"norm" is computer template sails for most. Sailing is dominated by Catalinas,
hunters and other popular boats that rarely get a visit from a loft. Ask Mark
at Doyle or Bill and UK how many boats he visits. They couldn't make money
unless they had a giant cut-and-ship business.
