I just purchased a North genoa for my boat. Although the price was a bit higher than an online sail loft, I felt more comfortable having the professionals do the measuring and knowing that I can return to the local loft if I have an issue down the road. After two short sails I am very pleased with the product. Although I must say, the crisp sound of a new sail is almost disturbing compared to the gentle flogging of an old dish rag..............I hope to save enough money to pick up a new main for next season. I will return to my local North loft.
