Subject: Sails winning in class
Info: (25867 views) Posted: Tuesday 10-17-06 09:48:46 PM
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?
