I believe Quantum, Santa Cruz Sails, UK, and Pineapple make most of
the Express 27 sails that are used on the Bay. There are competitive
boats using sails from each of the 4 lofts, so it really comes down
to 1) who you are comfortable with, 2) the kind of service they will
provide, 3) price.
Personally there is one other factor I consider, and that is what
kind of history the loft (or the sailmakers from the loft) have of
supporting the fleet.
I don't think you get enough extra mileage out of a Kevlar main to
justify the higher price, but maybe others can comment on their
experience in that regard (as we've always just gone with Dacron).
:: Is Quantum the choice for sails? Kevlar vs. dacron ? for
:: main? Anyone delt with Don T. from Quantum?
