will make me the following working sails and for cheaper
than Sailwarehouse. The quality appears better with two
rows of reef points in the main plus insignia and sail
numbers and draft stripe.

I thought sails were much more expensive than this. But I guess
there are so many Coronado 27s out there sailing the oceans
of the world that sailmakers can mass-produce our sails and
sell them for cheaper than for most boats a few of which were
ever made before the design either failed or became obsolete.

Shipping is extra - I've e-mailed my address to them and they
are going to give me a shipping charge. I'll let you know but
it's probably 30-40 bucks like it is for sailwarehouse coming
from California.

No sales tax which is a good thing. A brand new set of working
sails for less than a grand is fantastic! If everything holds together
and I get some good, postitive answers to questions about the
make and construction of the sail slugs and foot and a quote
on a slightly larger jib - 110% instead of 100% (12 foot long foot
instead of 10.75') I think I'll go ahead and order. They're supposed
to be shipped within 2-3 weeks from date of receipt of payment.

Booby and everybody else is going to be sooooooo envious.

You might try these guys also, their labor costs are probably even lower
than HK's. The guy I used to crew for had his sails made by these folks,
very inexpensive, excellent quality.

thanks, I filled out their form for a mainsail. Unfortunately they have a retail
outlet in Florida so I'm sure they'll want to hit me up for sales tax which is
around 8% here. It'll probably negate any price difference.

I'll follow up when I hear something.
