[Public-List] new sail

[gordon white]

      From the advice given, re-cutting an old sail is not a good idea. 
Bacon has quoted $1,495 and Ullman  $2,364. Apparently sailmakers have 
the class specs in their computers, but do I need to tell them cloth 
weight, cloth maker, draft, draft placement, foot length, and other 
specifications?

     I am 78 years old and will be cruising purely on Chesapeake Bay in 
moderate conditions, at least as far as I can predict, but would like 
longevity -

     My old sail has modest length battens and two rows of reef points 
(which I rarely use.)

     Any recommendations?
