Default Hey, Sloco....

I have other versions of this sail available for less of course.

Gee, I don't need all that expensive full batten stuff and 2 reefs.

Tri-radial Pentex, regular length tapered battens with the top one
being full, 5/16" boltrope, 1 reef. ****, if a full batten Kevlar
number is $1600 your guy should be able to do this for $900. Of course
I would want to know the name of the loft and the brand of cloth.



I'll call him in the morning. I have a rig/price database, but the
parameters are basic. I'll get back to you with a quote, which I do
expect to be quite low. The loft is the real deal and you'd deal
directly with them. I'm just spreading the word. I was quoted 3800
bucks or so for a tri-radial main from Ullman for a 35s5 and that's
with a dealer break. That's insane. Do we all have to pay for
advertising?
A Pentax tri-radial for your boat would be 2200.00 or 350 less for
cruise lam of DIAX. North wants 3600 for the same sail.
