Anyone have experience with "Sail Care" for sail reconditioning?
 

They are in Ford City, PA and they basically dry clean the sails and then
re-resin the sails.

Mostly a cosmetic fix-up. Will NOT restore a sail that has lost it's shape!!!
Money is better spent on new sails or newer used ones.

Used them a couple of times. They do a great job!

Used them on our old tired mainsail before selling out old boat. Made the
sail look like new but I'm not sure about the shape - basically it was a
cosmetic fix in my mind.

Pretty costly as well and I probably wouldn't do it again.

That is only exactly what they claim to do. They specifically
state that their process will not fix a sail with poor shape. They
also state that they do not recut sails and that one would have
to go to a sailmaker for that service. I had my main done on
my C&C 36 and it cost around $250 and that included a
couple of minor repairs and some restitching. I though it was a
pretty good deal. Got many more years out of the sail even
thought its shape wasn;t perfect.

I have used them twice, once for an old Clipper Marine 23, and once for a Pearson 38, I was delighted with the results both times. The cost was not terrible expensive and I got several more years out of both of the sails
