Can anyone provide a web address for Sailrite? I know it's probably been
there, but I've missed it.

As of a year ago, Sailrite no longer sewed sails, but made only kits. And
their supply catalog is a great source of cloth, rope, rigging, and other
really neat stuff.

The catalog that I got about a week ago offered to sell complete
sails. Maybe they don't want to make the small sizes because the
difference between the kit and complete sail prices is so small.

I've begun to think about sails for my Micro. I'm seriously considering the
Sailrite kits, and have seen a few messages on this board discussing their high
quality, ease of construction, etc. but was wondering if anyone has experience
with buying a Micro (or similar) sail custom made.

For example, cruising direct
http://www.cruisingdirect.com/Mainsail_Order_Form.htmoffers custom made sails
for $4.00 sq ft in Dacron, plus an additional cost of 8% for reef points.
Considering micro's dimemsions:

Main 119sqft + 2 reefs $552

Mizzen 34sqft no reefs $136

Total $688


This compared to the sailrite kits (394 main, 126 mizzen) totals $520, it might
make sense to just buy the sails custom made.

Can anyone recommend a sail maker that you would recommend I do business with if
I do decide to purchase my sails ready made? I checked Payson's web site, he
doesn't list a Micro sail, nor does common-sense-boats.

I apologize if this has been covered before.

Thanks in advance,
