UPS just dropped my sails of from their cleaning and overhaul at sail
care. I am impressed. They look pretty good. Got all the leather pockets
replaced on the luff of my main and general restitching and some
overstiching in the clew. Also had 2 jibs and the mizzen done as well.
Anyone else use these guys before?

No, but I've worked over many a tired sail myself. Usually the outer
ends of the batten pockets are the first to go. BTW it's worth the extra
money IMHO to pay for the new hi-tech UV-resistant thread.

So what is your sail inventory? Got any mizzen staysails?

I have a 140% gen roller reefing. I have a clubfooted jib also roller.
Main, Mizzen, 2 mizzen staysails (light, and a heavy, Drifter, and a
wind scoop;)I am also almost finished making my new dodger and sail
covers. I had them sew on the same sunbrella on the sun stips for the
jibs. Boat has been painted and all that is left is a couple of days of
bright work when the weather warms. Also installed some new electronics.
Knotmeter depth anemometer. The boat is 30 years old this year. It was
due for a little attention.

Woefully inadequate sail inventory. It's
that of a rank amateur. You need some
storm sails and at least a couple more
light air headsails plus a spinnaker.
