Cappy...

Have you checked the pricing by Sailnet/Air Force Sails?
They are in your part of the world and have a pretty sophisticated
sail pricing web site. I don't have any first hand knowledge of their
sails, other than they seem *much* cheaper than the North Sails I have
purchased in the past. If money is an issue, you could just motor
around with the sail cover on like Bob and just tell people you have a
serviceable mainsail

Sabresails prices don't compare with Honk Kong Sails
or Sailwarehouse.
