For someone that lectures about buying quality.... you certainly let cost
over-ride the influence on your purchase.
You get what you pay for... and all you got is a set of inferior sails. How
lubberly can you get you sniveling little dock sailor of a man. PATHETIC!!!

.... maybe you were trying for a low cost rigging switch to a "Chinese Junk"

| Honk Kong Sails made mine. They have a website:
| http://www.netfun.com/cgi-bin/hksail/
| Check them out. They are the best priced sails
| by far with standard features like double row of
| reef points, sail insignia and numbers tell tales,
| etc. that others charge extra for. I got a main
| and working jib for a little over a grand including
| shipping.
|
| From looking at the sails that just arrived yesterday
| I'd say the quality and workmanship is excellent.
| I managed to get the old mainsail off and the new
| one bent on but a big thunderstorm came up and
| I had to put the cover on the sail even before getting
| the battens in yesterday evening. Maybe if the
| weather holds I'll get some sailing in today and
| take some pics to post on a webpage at my
| site.
|
| Good luck.

| Hi Simon,
| What kind of sails did you get and was it a good deal?
I'm
| currently looking around for new sails for my 28. Thanks for any help.

| Dear Group,
|
| I managed to nurse my new sails through customs and have word
| from FED EX tracking that the sails are on the delivery truck which
| left from Marathon (forty miles south of here) at a little after nine
| this morning. I should have the sails in my grubby little hands later
| on this afternoon.
|
| Boy are you gonna be jealous when you get a load of how well the
| new sails set and how shiny new they look. No more critics allowed
| like the last time I showed pics of worn-out sails. There will be
nothing
| to criticize.
|
| Look for a link to a new webpage showing actual sailing pictures with
| new working sails in a week or two.
