![]() R. Don't call. Okay. Thanks. Somehow I don't think Scotty will be calling either. I did finish a deal for a T37 though. RB 35s5 NY |

RB 35s5 NY Scotty will be missing out on a great deal. It's very generous of you to pass along such great bargains to others. More good luck shall come your way. |

![]() Scotty will be missing out on a great deal. It's very generous of you to pass along such great bargains to others. More good luck shall come your way. Well, I'm guessing Scotty doesn't really need the mainsail or he'd at least drop me a note about it. It is a really good deal and they're a nice loft with some very good service. Big lofts work very hard to convince folks that their "Beta Kappa Cutey Pie 4XL" sails are the best, then charge insane amounts for even their "standard" sails. I had a set of sails from a loft no one heard of on the Pearson 30, but even the folks at Doyle admitted they were top notch...and probably cost a 3rd less. Now I feel guilty about not buying from my buddy at Doyle (and I was getting 30% off)...I'll have to get some new canvas made up I guess. RB 35s5 NY |

Fortunately, you can see through that and find real value. |

There are also cruising radials, which are only radial at the bottom half, then cross-cut above that. My friend's main on the Sweden 39 is cut this way and it's a terrific sail. I just quoted a main for a Hunter 39, cruising radial, two reef points for 1875.00. RB 35s5 NY |

Do you mean like the small sailmaker in Muskegon, MI, who asked the Ulmer Kolius rep if UK actually made headsails with shape (draft) built in? Max |
