Apologies to the list. I realized after my statement that it could be offensive to some regarding my choice to buy sails made in America instead of mass produced ones in other countries . Perhaps it is my own ignorance or lack of research as I know that quality can come anywhere. I could have bought Canadian built sails but the quotes I received simply did not stack up. I'm weary of globalization and the myths it creates in everyone being better off. only the corporate state of that equation benefits. I better get off this stump. Sent from my iPad

I like to buy from a local person. If I was in Polynesia (Dog willing), I'd buy from a qualified Polynesian sail-maker. I'm in eastern Washington State. Don Yager is my guy. t On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 6:00 PM, Bruce Ward <northwave@telus.net> wrote:
