Any experience with these vendors?

[VCampbell]

An extremely limited budget for the boat this year has me shopping for a new mainsail based on price, rather than ordering from a local sail loft which would have been my preference. Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with either The Sail Warehouse or Mauri Sails? I'd appreciate any input or any other suggestions for sources.
Thanks,
Vern

I have had good and fast service from Bacon's. They have new sails made in addition to their used sails sales. They have the specs for Cape Dorys.

I think some of the listed vendors source their sails from Rolly Tasker and they build very good sails at an excellent price.

Dirk at National Sail Supply in Florida probably has the best pricing and standard "specs" on Rolly Tasker sails as he used to be his GM in Phuket running what was then the largest sail loft in the world.

I am on my 9th sail from Dirk and they have been excellent and a tremendous value.

Thanks for the replies and the input. Both the vendors I mentioned quoted prices for a finished sail for about the same price that I got from Sailrite for a mainsail kit. I was curious about the quality of the vendors' product because I know that you generally get what you pay for. The local sail loft has given me great service on several occasions over the years so I had every intention of having them build me a new main this year, but my money has had to go in different directions this year. I'll check out Bacon and National Sail Supply.
Thanks again,
Vern

The sail warehouse sails are good. We purchased a main , and a genoa from them about 9 years ago and they still look great. We got the power tip main, which is their better one with 2 top full battens

I have to agree with mainesail about national sail. I've replaced 3 sails from them. Dirk is on top of things and accessable, easy to work with. Good sails and pricing.
