Jonathan, Try http://nationalsail.com/mcart/index.cgi?code=3&cat=24/<http://www.nationalsail.com/>,agent for Rolly Tasker. Our boat has the same triangle as a Catalina 34 Tall, so they discount the jib a little. I got my 135 from them and am happy.
North Direct sometimes uses cheaper cloth than North. Be sure to confirm which you are getting. My only experience with Pryde is that they do OEM sails on Bennies, and I hate their in mast furling main, but the jib I have trimmed is fine. I'd get at least 2 full battens in the main. The sail will last longer! Find out what type of batten pocket they use on the full battens. It should have an integrated slug. Otherwise, the forward edge of the batten stopper rubs on the mast as you haul unless you are directly into the wind. Good luck!
