I had Elliott-Pattison make a storm jib for me when I bought my boat. Very satisfied with what they delivered. Joe Moore M15 #641 Midnight Passage On 7/9/07 8:18 PM, "Gary M Hyde" <gmhyde1@mac.com> wrote:
I'm very satisfied with the performance of the Elliott-Pattison sails that came with my 2005 M17. The roller-reefing genoa is cut so that I don't have to move the jib sheet turning block when I reef. Having trouble keeping the main slugs attached is the only down side.

Hi All:
Here's a request for opinions for those of you who have replaced sails... who is your favorite sailmaker who does mail-orders? (no local sailmakers in Chattanooga, TN)
I need to replace at least my main and possibly a jib as well. I've ordered from SailsEast before... the price was really good, and the cut and shape were fine, but the finish and handwork was pretty minimal. I'd prefer to spend a little more and get a well-built, longer lasting cruising sail. I'm wondering who else I should seek quotes from.
Thanks very much BG

Hi Tom,
I've raised my M17 off the trailer bunks using a floor jack and a cushioning 2" x 6" piece of lumber under the keel. Worked fine.
