Haven't bought mine yet, but I'm leaning towards Crusing Direct. They are owned by North, but the sails are constructed in Singapore. Loose-footed, baggy shelf, no charge for slugs, with insignia, battens, bag, Cunningham, and a single reef for just under $700. Sails are made of 5 oz Dacron. They aren't used to one-designs, so all sail dimensions have to be measured. And for some reason they don't share info across North's network - i.e. they couldn't access North's Harpoon design. Bob
