sail loft recommendation?

My mainsail tore today, while reefed. Tear is below the lowest batten pocket, near where the sail was reefed on the boom. A second tear is about four inches further down the leech. Each tear is a couple of feet long. I don't know which tore first, happened so fast. No reinforcement around a reef point on this sail.

I will try to repair, but want to order a new one for my 2023-C tall mast.

Anyone have good a experience buying a new main for their 2023?

Seth
