Hi David, We ran into a similar situation with needing new sails for our "new" 1986 M15 (which we sailed in Havasu on our maiden voyage). We went with Harry at E/P sails and as others have mentioned, he was great to work with and the boat sailed very well with the new sails. sal In a message dated 4/12/2010 7:57:50 P.M.

I haven't been able to bear to inspect it closely yet but I think 2 seems about halfway up the sail tore about halfway from the leech to the luff. I wonder what options I have. The sail is fairly worn and is red, white, and blue. Any suggestions for how to determine if a repair would be best, if a used sail would be best, or a new one would be best would be hugely appreciated. I'd want the best value over the remaining life of the boat determine what is the best approach to me. I live about 6 hours drive from the nearest sail loft. Thanks in advance for any advice!
