I had good service from Sailcrafters in St Louis Park MN. I had them make me up a new 120% genoa and it has changed our sailing for the better. So sweet upwind now and less heel. Tim at Sailcrafters basically gets the sailcloth of your choice CAD cut to your specs at a big shop and then sews the panels up himself. So in a way I got the best of both worlds, local and lower cost. Still, I think it would have been a bit cheaper to go fully online, but I had a bit of a custom sail job to do and was using my old sail dimensions.

Absolutely gorgeous sail, especially against those tanbark sails. That's the beauty of sailboats. Everything has a purpose, but there are aesthetic choices that can make a huge difference in pride of ownership.

I am a relatively new CD26 owner and a spinnaker new-bie. If I order an asym. from Precision, what size do I need, or how do I figure that out? Thanks!
