After bending my main on this week, I noticed the start of a new tear in the upper regions, which really irks me after spending a few hours patch two others. I think I'll be purchasing a new main before long. Can anyone comment on sail makers you've used? Since we are in Guam, I figured Lee Sails of Hong Kong might be a good idea, since we're so close. But a West Coast loft may be good too. I'm starting to comb through some second-hand websites as well, seeing what's out there. Thanks!

If you're interested in cruising, wear-like-iron, then Hood might be the best choice. For performance cruising sail.....There are many that would work including North Sails and Ullman Sails. For racing go with North, Quantum or U.K. Sails. You could go with Cruising Direct, which is a branch of North Sails....might save some $$$ Tiawanese sails will be much cheaper, but I can't comment on quality.
I recently had quotes from $2500 to $4300 for a cruising main with three reefs and full battens.
Good luck and let us know what you wound up paying and your satisfaction!!!
