Also hope you'll be happy with their length of service. Again, I'm not
sure I would have gone with plastic rather than Dacron for "Knocking
About" but also understand that's a personal matter.


I have a nearly new set if high tech sails for 1200 bucks, plus the guy
who runs the loft is sending me a lazy jack kit. Considering what I was
about to pay for a set of crosscut, I did pretty well. On top of that
some good business came out of it. Even if I decide I want a dacron
cruising tri-radial, it will only cost me about 1700 bucks. Places like
North and UK wanted 2500 for a crosscut! I'm probably getting a
asymetrical chute from them as well now.
It's been a win win win situation thus far.
