Dear Group,

I managed to nurse my new sails through customs and have word
from FED EX tracking that the sails are on the delivery truck which
left from Marathon (forty miles south of here) at a little after nine
this morning. I should have the sails in my grubby little hands later
on this afternoon.

Boy are you gonna be jealous when you get a load of how well the
new sails set and how shiny new they look. No more critics allowed
like the last time I showed pics of worn-out sails. There will be nothing
to criticize.

Look for a link to a new webpage showing actual sailing pictures with
new working sails in a week or two.

You really should try to avoid these sweeping statements. Why would I
be jealous, I have new sails. Why would Thom be jealous, he has new
sails? I am sure that many others on this group have new sails, I am
certain that each and everyone of us, including Bobsprit sails more,
with or without new sails than you do.

Remember when you bend your new sails on, you must untie the boat from
the engine block if you want to have any hope of sailing, getting
someone aboard who knows how to sail and the Colregs would be most
helpful.

Cheers
Marty

Your lack of understanding about the previous pics you published (of your
old sails)
suggests that you stand little chance of getting a good shape out of even
the best new sails
when you publish pics of the new sails in action....... I respectfully
suggest that you get someone who knows what they are lookin at to write the
captions/text
At least then you will SEEM to know what you are babbling on about.

Theres a tad more to it than "fling em up and pull it all tight"
Enjoy!

Hi Simon,
What kind of sails did you get and was it a good deal? I'm
currently looking around for new sails for my 28. Thanks for any help.

Honk Kong Sails made mine. They have a website:
http://www.netfun.com/cgi-bin/hksail/
Check them out. They are the best priced sails
by far with standard features like double row of
reef points, sail insignia and numbers tell tales,
etc. that others charge extra for. I got a main
and working jib for a little over a grand including
shipping.

From looking at the sails that just arrived yesterday
I'd say the quality and workmanship is excellent.
I managed to get the old mainsail off and the new
one bent on but a big thunderstorm came up and
I had to put the cover on the sail even before getting
the battens in yesterday evening. Maybe if the
weather holds I'll get some sailing in today and
take some pics to post on a webpage at my
site.

Good luck.

What do you do if they made some mistake?

Can you return them and who pays for shipping?

That's good, but I'm just wondering what recourse you
would have had. We're thinking about upgrading the
sails on several of our boats. If I can find a less expensive
way to do it....

For someone that lectures about buying quality.... you certainly let cost
over-ride the influence on your purchase.
You get what you pay for... and all you got is a set of inferior sails. How
lubberly can you get you sniveling little dock sailor of a man. PATHETIC!!!

.... maybe you were trying for a low cost rigging switch to a "Chinese Junk"
