Default Question on custom sail makers

Greetings All,
Thanks to all of you that responded, it appears that I am just being
impatient. Lately the weather has been perfect for getting the boat out so
for now I will just putt around with the motor. Once again I really
appreciate the responses.

Some lofts cut the sails and send it off shore for the bulk of the sewing
and hand work.. Then do some in house work just to give US Customs and the
customer the impression that the sail us US made.

I once went into a Doyle (now UK) sail loft in San Diego to check the
progress on my sail alterations.. Not a sole working in the loft and my

sail
was in Mex. The "Sailmaker" was the only person I ever saw in the loft

on
any of my three visits. However, the work was fine and reasonable.
