Subject: Sails winning in class
Info: (26616 views) Posted: Friday 10-20-06 04:33:25 PM
Is anyone using FusionX from Quantum? It is priced the same as Dacron and quantum rep promises to be more durable and lighter than Dacron?

:: Just one more vote for Dave / Will and Santa Cruz sails.
:: And I'd get a Santa Cruz dacron main above any other
:: main. I can do more with that dacron main than other
:: materials. (And it does last...)
::

:: -Tom
::
::
:: :: I must reccomend Santa Cruz Sails: David Hodges has
:: :: always supported the class, provides great service on
:: :: repairs and now has Will Paxton working. His advice on
:: :: sailing, tunjing is simple and to the point and he
:: :: always provides a keg for the fleet. SDK
:: ::
:: :: :: I like the fact that quntum post their prices in OD
:: :: :: section for
:: ::
:: :: :: express . Is anyone else providing their prices up front
:: :: :: so I can compare
:: ::
:: :: :: it without the legwork?Recent quotes? Group discounts?
:: ::
:: :: :: Anyone interested in purchase of main this winter?
:: :: ::
:: :: ::
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: 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?
