I have a new main ($485) and jib ($295) from https://www.peaksailsna.com/montgomery/montgomery-15/. The main took ~10 months to arrive, I thought for sure they had gone out of business and would never send me anything (after I paid for the full sail, emailed them multiple times with no reply, etc). However, when the sail arrived I was impressed by the high quality, so I contacted the manufacturer about ordering a jib after being assured that the delivery problems had been worked out and I would get the sails in ~4 weeks. Well, they sent the jib in ~2 months, so some improvement. Both work great on my 1984 M15, and the boat performs SO much better. I can even notice a difference between having the center board up/down now! I requested reinforced piston hanks on the jib, but otherwise made no other special requests. I recently took them out sailing to a club event, and some much more experienced folks in the sailing club also agreed that they were quite well made. Anyway, YMMV, and you might not get them until the season ends, but the price is hard to beat. Best, Sam On Mon, May 13, 2019 at 8:00 PM <casioqv@usermail.com> wrote:
I can't recommend Elliott/Pattison strongly enough - far higher quality than almost any sails out there but still affordable in M15 sizes... plus they're really nice people and have excellent customer service. https://www.epsails.com/
They know M15s very well, you probably don't need to send them any measurements for a standard jib.

Hi: I’ve been sewing up tears and patching holes on my Monty 15 jib. It still works, however, I’m afraid of a big tear in big winds in the middle of nowhere. Here are the measurements on my jib. Any ideas on where to get a new one and how to go about ordering one Boise isn’t known for its sailmakers. Thanks,
