No, Louis, part of our nation's problems are rude people like you. It's a global economy now; get used to that fact or you're going to be an unhappy, disadvantaged camper. My guess is that a clown like you spouts off before knowing what's really what; I doubt that you've ever actually used or even looked at a foreign-made sail. The sails I bought from Sails East are well designed and built, of high quality cloth and fit and perform on my boat perfectly -- plus their prices were ridiculously lower than that of domestic suppliers. Don't blame buyers if U.S. sailmakers can't compete on price and quality. And, Louis, please try to be courteous when you compose and send an e-mail to someone you don't know.

Part of our nations problems are associated with the " cheap" mentality. Some items have good quality but MOST are inferior. The us companies NEED YOUR help you are supporting your fellow countrylmen. It is a shame if you have a high quality boat and want to put a low ball main sail on it!!!

Dear Gordon,
First, I hope your health is at least as good as it can be under the circumstances. How are you feeling? Have you been able to do some sailing in MN?
I wanted to ask you a quick question. I remembered that at some point you mentioned an outfit in China which sold you sails for the Monty 17 at a very good price. Were you happy with the quality? What was the name/web address of the place? I am thinking of getting a new mainsail, and perhaps a new sail for a new boat I got (a Windrider 16, single person trimaran).
Best wishes of health and hope, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Andrei. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
