Im thinking of having some sails made by Lee. Would like to hear from anyone
who has purchased sails from them in regard to the quality of their products
and service.

Never had sails made by Lee but a good avid sailing friend advised if I
needed sails to use Lee. He had sails made for his Passport and was very
satisfied. He is from Canada and suggested that we buy from there to save
money.

The PO of my boat purchased new Lee sails. They seem to be well made
and well designed for my boat. They are definitely cruising sails of
basic dacron without any fancy bells or whistles, but that is exactly
what I want. They have handled heavy weather and light air quite
well. I would not hesitate to purchase Lee sails for cruising if
their price was competitive.

That's my verdict, too, as I got them from the PO. Was quite pleased
until I got newer sails, and then I saw some improvement above and
beyond what just replacing the sails would get.

If you cruise, dacron is still the way to go for simplicity's sake and
price.
