Now ain't that odd. I ordered an off the shelf with 3 reef points. They said
they had the template and I confirmed the measurements via fax. I sent the
sail back 3 times. The loft finally flew a rep up from Vancouver to
Yellowknife and found out their measurements were not correct.

Didn't you confirm the measurements by fax? What was screwed up?

The sail dimensions for the Hunter 19 are about 6 inches too short on the foot
and 10 inches too short on the luff, so as to make them cheaper. When I ordered
a set of custom sails, I measured the rig and sent the a very complete diagram
to the sailmaker.

Personally, I think that "cheap" is not a benefit when ordering new sails. You
want good sails, you gotta pay for 'em. Otherwise go down to the secondhand bin
and pick through the cast-offs... they are almost free. And almost worth it.



I did feel
sorry for the guy and arranged for him to meet some other people who were
considering buying new sails. He measured and discussed their specifics with
them and returned with orders for a few other sails. Mine arrived again and
fit. They decided to send a rep up every year after that.

Many sailmakers will visit out-of-the-way sailing clubs in person to drum up
business and do a little coaching. Apparently your club is a little too
out-of-the-way!

Apparently they thought I had screwed up.... they ignored the measurements
I sent.

Well I had done business with them for an overhaul and restitching for 2
seasons prior.... They didn't realize there was over 60 boats in
Yellowknife and no loft. I heard that both UK & North make regular trips up
there now.
