Anybody bought a mainsail from Schurr Sails? How do you like it if so? The specs: MAINSAIL $694.00 Standard Features: Sail Numbers Insignia Tapered Battens 4.4 ounce cloth Fold bag or Roll bag I've seen weights go as high as 5 oz from other sailmakers, and as low as 3.8 oz. Does anyone know what the weight was of the cloth in the original North sails? North's (Gulf Coast loft) price is $813 with reef and window, 5 oz cloth. I would need to add a reef to the Schurr quote above; window is nice but not essential IMHO. I'm also wondering if some of the lofts will be having winter sales, as I've tapped into these in the past for my big boat sails. North San Diego is advertising 15% off one design sails, but doesn't include Harpoons in the list. Thanks, Neil S.
