Default Express 30 sail quote again

Actually the price of 1600 doesn't change much. This loft does not
charge for full battens, reef points and so on. You can customize the
sail as you please and you WON'T be charged an insane amount for things

like added roach.

I downgrade from Kevlar to Pentex. Eliminate full battens.
Eliminate one set of reefs. And the price stays the same?
LOL........... What loft doesn't charge for full battens and associated
hardware or maybe more importantly the added labor for extra sets of
reef points etc? I guess your midnight guy also pays the same for
Pentex as he does for Kevlar. More proof that your guy is just running
the sewing machine after hours and stealing his bosses fabric.
By the way any quote from a sailmaker always assumes max roach. The
only time anyone would do any mods to the roach would be to eliminate
it because of in mast furling where you can't use battens. Roach is
unmeasured sail area. I don't know anyone who would give that up.
