DEALS on Sails for ASA'ers
 
This aint a troll, folks.

For those of you seeking sails for your boat I've worked out a deal
with a sailmaker of good reputation. How good a deal? Let's put it this
way: I can get you a tri-radial kevlar main for the price of a cross
cut dacron sail at North or UK sails. I can get you a tri-radial dacron
or mylar as well, for WAY less than the other guys. And it won't be
from China either.

I won't deal with anyone on ASA in this forum. If you need sails and
don't want to pay inflated prices, but also want real quality contact
me offline and we'll chat about this on the phone. I've already sold
several and everyone is happy. If no one here is interested, that's
fine. I just thought I'd extend the offer. Not everyone has the cash to
buy new sails at UK and they'd be shocked to know what their premium
dollars are really paying for.

Contact me at or and I'll arrange a
contact by phone. This is certainly worth checking out if you're
thinking of new sails. When you learn of the loft and sailmaker
involved, I think it'll erase any doubts.

Cheers,

Watch out fellow asa people. This deal has been offered before. A
number of sailors lost money. It was discovered that the Boobster had
hooked up with, let's say, a less than honest employee at a sailoft who
was going to operate the sewing machine at night after the boss went
home. That guy got fired. I guess the Boob has suckered another
apprentice into thinking he can make extra money after hours. Stay
away. Buy a sail at your local loft where your boat will get measured
(your new main will reach full hoist) and you'll get good service. If
the Boob's connections were really safe why would he buy used.

Nice try, Sloco. The people involved are a loft and the owner of a
particlular loft in business for many years. Like I said, a chat on the
phone will erase any doubts. No under the table deals. This is from a
real and reputable loft. If you buy a sail, you may report what
happened here, but I won't.
There's no harm in looking into it, now is there?

It makes all the difference in the world. That is why you are recommending

If it truly makes no difference, then it shouldn't make a difference what
loft you recommend.

You can't even be honest about you getting benefits from other's

Does that loft realize the potential damage it is doing to its reputation by
associating with you?

I hope the owner searches USENET looking for your email address.

The abuse, lies, lies and more lies are well documented for all to see.

When you say:

"When you learn of the loft and sailmaker
involved, I think it'll erase any doubts."

You are the source of the doubts. Are you using the loft to try and salvage
your reputation? Sorry, it doesn't fly here. A decent man would notify the
loft of what you do here and on other forums and then they can decide if
they really want you as a front man.

Is that the bed I made by selling 7 sailboats this summer from 11K to
144K? Or is that the bed I made creating deals with local lofts for our
club and one other? Now you say it's the bed I made because I'm
offering sails at a steep savings? I have sail jobs pending for Tartan
37, Catalina 30 and 320, J33 and now a person on ASA. Two orders are
already paid and I just started this 9 days ago.
Nobody cares about trolling online and very few people hang out here
once they see what's going on. Still, I know people are seriously nasty
and vindictive here, so I don't include professional contact info ever.
Pay what you want.

Catalina 30 Tri-radial cruising main, double reefs, full batten with 7%
roach added-some custom features as well were added. New and shipped
for 1629.00.

Wanna know what North would charge? And this sail is made from a better
material (or you can have the same for a lower cost) and can be custom
cut. As I said, pay what you want elsewhere...but it'll be more and
you'll get nothing in return for those extra dollars.

Buh bye.

"As for the benefit, what

But it does make a difference.

That's because you don't represent the best interests of either the loft or
buyer. You are concerned first about your interests.

The benefit is obvious. Find enough people to buy sails via you and you get
free sails. You'll brag about it forever.

Mark up on sails is about 2x. Figure selling 10 sails at about $1500 a pop
(it is slow season now) and the owner can toss you a sail for free which
only costs him $750 in materials, labor and overhead. The owner pulls in
$7500 in profit on $15,000 in sails and gives you 10% in the form of a free
sail.

"As for the benefit, what
difference does that make. Makes no difference."

If it makes no difference then why hide it? You don't have to divulge the
Loft's name.

Funny you should say that. Early this year, a friend of mine

Probably not, they laugh at him too.

If Bubbles actually had a good deal to rpesent on sails, he
could say something like "The sail loft I'm working with
offers a basic quote of X $/sq-ft, call around and see if
any others will beat that." Instead he just has more dumbo
bluster. He'll probably say "bwahaha" at some point.

There are a number of people in this forum who have bought
sail in the recent past, and by their accounts have done
well enough that they don't need advice from me on the
topic; and certainly not advice Bubbles.

That's true, Bart....but we've spoken on the phone, have we not? I
don't think either of us would say the other is an "ass" in the real
world. You sounded like a nice guy, you told me of your superior
sailing experience and I respected it all the way. If I had some kind
of terrible rep, my yard would not keep me around. Those guys are
Italian and take no crap. That's the real world.
This is ASA and we all let off steam and blow smoke and so on. A few
folks like Doug and Sloco grandstand and want to pretend that this is a
"serious" forum for sailing. But you know as well as I do that there is
little real traffic here with our small group of regulars. In 10 years
I've been spotted by someone outside of ASA while doing business
exactly one time. It didn't hurt the sale.
Folks here troll plenty....but if Scotty could save me money on a
camera, I'd take him up on it...if he offered. I know you have some
kind of relationship with North. I also have one with Doyle. But this
new deal is special and the quality is higher for less money.
Turn-around may be slower, but reasonable for off season. If you really
think I'm such a bad person in the real world, then forget it. No
problem. I made the offer and that's that. I'm not making the sails or
even measuring for them. I'm not even a middle man, in spite of Gilly's
