Scotty will be missing out on a great deal. It's very generous of you
to
pass along such great bargains to others. More good luck shall come
your
way.



Well, I'm guessing Scotty doesn't really need the mainsail or he'd at
least drop me a note about it. It is a really good deal and they're a
nice loft with some very good service. Big lofts work very hard to
convince folks that their "Beta Kappa Cutey Pie 4XL" sails are the
best, then charge insane amounts for even their "standard" sails. I had
a set of sails from a loft no one heard of on the Pearson 30, but even
the folks at Doyle admitted they were top notch...and probably cost a
3rd less.
Now I feel guilty about not buying from my buddy at Doyle (and I was
getting 30% off)...I'll have to get some new canvas made up I guess.


People do pay a premium for the brand. Fortunately, you can see through that
and find real value.
