I miss wrote Salerite when I meant SailCare in Ford PA.
The process is called Lamauney Reconditioning. They check your sail for damage repair same clean them and then re-resin by impregnating the cloth and setting by heat. They also add a fungal agent to prevent mildew, one for water repellency and a third for ultraviolet protection. Makes them like new (stiff). Very reasonable pricing
They also have a Sail Loft for sail modification. I have had a second hand purchased Jib modified from hank on to roller furling this year. I am considering going to full battens on my Main next year. :
They also sell small Sail Boat hardware;
Disclaimer I do not have any connection to SailCare other than being a satisfied customer over the past 20 years.

What's the restoration process? My M17 main is ten years old, and has the consistency of a bed sheet, but it still has a decent shape. I'd like to keep it going.

Agree with Steve regarding having sails reconditioned and having "M" logo with Boat # added by Sailrite is the way to go. Have used them over the years on 4 different boats and find them great to work with. Sails come back like new using their restoration process. Follow Up is always a good idea and have found them to be quite respective to my phone calls and e-mails.

I sent my sails to SailRite a couple of years ago and the restored my originals, retaining the original M-15 and 335. However, I recommend if you choose to do that, communicate with them frequently and use your various communication media, telephone, printed letter by U.S.P.S mail and e-mails because my experience was my messages did not reach the work room for awhile and there was some delay as a result. I think it cost about $ 200 or so, and was much less expensive than replacing the sail. Will dig out their contact info if you want? Steve M-15 # 335

Although we still have original sails, I rarely use them. I'd like to get the 'M' logo/graphics for newer sails. Any suggestion as to where or what kind to get?
