Hello all. I've seen a few emails requesting information for sailmakers for Cape Dorys and I wanted to report on my experience having a new main and staysail built by Mike at Sutter Sailmakers in Sausalito, CA. Mike spent many hours with me answering all my questions and in turn asking me what I wanted out of the sail. We laid out several designs on the computer and after having the design reviewed by his associate and expert sailmaker we proceeded with having the panels laser cut.
In the end we had a few minor tweeks to the sail but the overall design was exactly what I was looking for. A heavy main that could be flattened out for the brisk SF Bay winds and but not so much so that it couldn't be opened up for the lighter cruising to be had in Mexico.
If your in the market for a sail, I'd highly recommend Mike at Sutter Sailmakers 415-332-2510.
