There's a few online lofts that would sort a jib and main for a 27 for
around $2k. I know Precision,
http://www.precisionsailloft.com/C-C-27-Mark-3-Sails-for-Sale-cu-s/2149.htm
would be around that price, and you wouldn't have to pay for shipping to
your door as they are based out of Langford somewhere. FX Sails are
another one, similar ballpark. Of course both are going to be dacron
sails at that price, and also made in China or similar.
FWIW, I just ordered a new 110% from Leitch & McBride here in Sidney to
replace the one that I ripped up the other day, I prefer to use locally
made things when I can with the associated support etc.
Cheers,

The quote from the local loft is in-line with a quote I got two
summers ago for a North genoa when evaluating the various C&C 27's for
sale locally.
Where did you find sails for $2000? I've run some online /
offshore-made pricing and no-where do I find anything close to that price.
I've got another local loft I can go to for a quote as well, and I
could go back to North in Richmond. In fact I'd love to have North
sails .... a brand always at the head of the fleet from my former
Lightning racing days.

Peter,
I can understand that you want to keep your old sail, but if you
replace, it does not need to cost $2500, unless you go for some exotic
materials. I replaced two sails (27 ft boat) for under $2000this fall.
The radial cutfurlingjib 135 was around$1k. Sorry, butIwould not spend
$500 for repairs.The new sail has to be better than your 10-year old
one (even if it was in a good shape).
