Just sent my sails to SailCare last week to take advantage of discount.
New sailor, 1988 Catalina 22, probably original sails in not too bad
condition.
I'll let you know cost to have them returned.
I am in PA, so we won't have it in water until March/April at least.

Mine took about two months including some fairly extensive repairs to one
of
the mains. But I did not plan to sail this winter and emphasized that time
was NOT of the essence.

I can also vouch for Commodore Joe's comments that they are nice people to
deal with, and that a simple telephone call gets you right to the man you
need to talk to.

I just received six sails back from Sail Care, a sail reconditioning
outfit
in Ford City, PA. I do not normally endorse vendors, but these people did
such a fine job restoring and rebuilding my sails, and at a very
affordable
price, that I felt I should mention them. If you have some old sails in
need
of help, or simply want them to look bright and shiny again, contact them
at
www.sailcare.com or call at 800-433-7245.

Yes, I've heard other positive reviews about Sailcare and only one comment
that the money would have been better spent on new sails. I'd have used
them but was concerned about the turnaround time. Down here in Central
Texas we sail most year around so I'd hate to be without sails for a long
time and Sailcare won't take reservations or guarantee a return time. How
long did yours take?
