Hi Bill,
I guess these are fairly tough times for everyone. I apologize for
the timing of this last message...just had a hard time believing that
you could get a new #4 made anywhere in the world for $275 shipped...
just the cost of the raw materials wholesale in the US would exceed
$275 before any type of shipping, design, cutting, labor hours, etc.
I would think that currently there are issues with new sail orders
coming out of Hong Kong Sailmakers Inc. Contracted delivery times
most likely are 2 months out at this point...personally I am trying
as hard as possible to NOT buy anything made in China...it is very
difficult but IMHO worth the extra effort to support all goods made
in the USA....from a $2 toothbrush to a $2,000 sail I am
looking/researching ways to buy stuff that is made in the Good Old
USA!
Stay Safe,
Pete
