new working jib for Ty Senior

Post by Megunticook »

I think I've just about wrung the last bit of useful life from my working jib. Anybody have any recommendations on where to get a new one?

Or anybody have a lightly used one to sell?

Thanks.

Check with Precision Sails, 30% discount on Fall order, Spring delivery.
My only connection is that of a very satisfied customer.

Thanks, got a quote from them, also North Sails and a smaall local loft. Precision much cheaper. What's the catch--made overseas? Not as rugged? How do they do th as t?

The quality depends on the cloth you you select. They have the best prices I could find and great service!
They also have a nice "fall order, spring delivery" discount.
(No, I am not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.)

Precision Sails is based in Victoria, BC and their design work is done there. Their sails are made in China in a factory that Precision says they own and is managed by a couple from Scotland. I bought my mainsail from them and have now sailed with it for 2 seasons. I've been happy with it. I optioned the offshore package which included triple stitching and several strengthening additions. All up, it was a bit less than 1 BOAT dollar. I'll use them again when I need to replace my genoa.

Thanks, that explains the price difference. I think I'll go with my local loft here in Camden or the North Sails loft in South Freeport.
