[Alberg30] Hello from New Alberg 30 Owner

[Dave Terrell]

I think looking at Haarstick is a good idea. I had some very helpful
conversations with them and can recommend them based on those
conversations. I am having my new sails made locally by Quantum partly
because Steve suggested it was a good idea. He said his market area is
in the east, and if I had a problem with the sails - however unlikely
that might be - it would not be easy to provide service. As a guy who
takes seriously the notion that one should measure twice and cut once, 
his advice made a lot of sense. I think if I lived out east, I would
have done business with them. The people at  Haarstick came off as very
smart people who were committed to building an excellent product. Their
approach to testing cloth is particularly impressive. I would give them
a careful look.

Thanks for the info on the sail maker.  I'll look into it.  I'll
definitely need a bit of luck to get everything done in time.  Hopefully
Mother Nature will be more gentle this coming spring.  
 
Thanks Again!

Wow, that's quit a list. Best of luck getting here ready for your trip.

We have done several of the projects you are contemplating ourselves.

You may want to consider Haarstick for you sails. They are a little
more
expensive than your typical cruising sail, but they are really built
to
last. I got caught in a serious blow last summer with main and chute
flying... they came through beautifully! Steve Voorhis has been a
great
resource for us too... haarstickchesapeake at comcast.net 

Enjoy!
