Hi Bob,

The only limit I know of on new sails is for the spinnaker. The rules state that you can carry two spinnakers, but one must be at least one year old. There are several sail lofts in the area, and I hesitate to make any recommendations because I'll probably forget someone, but here goes. Quantum, UK, and Pineapple Sails are all local and very familiar with the boat. I'm sure you can get someone from any one of these lofts to come out and make some recommendations. (If they won't, try someone different!)
