In Response To: Loose-Footed Main (Bob V)

I got my sail through SailCare -- I have sent sails to them in the past for reconditioning and repair.... They can do wonders with old sails - but if they tell you its not worth it - you should take thier word and get new ones.
the Company is out of PA - but they use a loft down in FLA. Any reputable Sailloft is going to have the dimensions for the Harpoon boats.... Most of class boats are all in their computers these days, so most can make any Sail desired.
I believe that Jerry (Sailcare) just ordered a Standard Harpoon Main, and then made the modification for a loose foot in his shop in PA. ((that entails removing the boltrope on the foot, reseaming it and adding a strap and a slug on the clew of the main)).
I shopped around -- and his prices were comparatible with all the rest -- couple of extra bucks for your Numbers and the class emblem... but thats pretty standard. He gives you a break if you order the pair (Jib+Main).
If your shopping around - definately give him a call... Their customer service is some of the best I've experienced. MPK
