David,
Schurr is a good loft. Well respected. I see Schurr sails on racing and
cruising boats up and down the Gulf Coast.

and while we are overpowered, we can still hold gusts to 18. Above 18 we roll
it down to a 135 or a 100. The foam luff keeps it flat. We love the shape of
our new sails and they keep us legal in the cruising fleet. We will be selling
the racing sails if anyone is interested. We have the Kevlar 155. Also a Kevlar
100. Both are in great shape. You can see them on saillanier.com under the
happy snaps the Bill Sears Series, sail number 44937.
