Steve, it definitely pays to shop around. When I was looking for a new main and genoa for my former ComPac 19, I got prices from three or four of the nationally known sail lofts with offices in Detroit, as well as a very good local loft. The local loft was fully competitive and about 40% less than the highest bid. I sold the boat before replacing the sails, however. But two sailing buddies replaced their sails the same summer. One used UK and the other , the local loft. There was no appreciable difference, but the local loft included a new sail cover. In Chicago, you should have your choice of several national lofts and a number of locals. Good luck on your search.<BR><BR>Russ Browne<BR>P.J.
