Re: Stus-List Asymmetrical shopping for 33-2?

I've purchased two head sails from rolly tasker - both directly dealing
with the main factory in Thailand. I purchased a 155% in 2013 and it's a
great sail. We're up on Georgian bay now and it's windier there than it was
here in Toronto. I ordered a 115% from them two weeks ago - it's already at
the marina waiting for me. I asked them to rush it "if they could" and
about three days after submitting payment information I got an email from
them saying it was ready to ship out. I can't say enough good things about
them. Very cost effective and the quality is really good. I haven't
actually laid eyes on the 115 yet but if it's as good as the 155 I'll be
very happy.

The local lofts couldn't get me a sail that quickly, at any price. I was in
a rush because we're leaving on a cruise tomorrow and I didn't commit to a
decision soon enough. My bad.

They shipped UPS - duties and taxes were about $240 CND - OUCH - but still
cheaper than local even with that factored in.

I remember seeing it in passing… but you guys kept me locked up down below 
doing navigation for most of the race…   :^)   Besides, the winds were so 
light, as I recall we used the cruising chute most of the way from Annapolis to 
Bermuda.

I had a Rolly Tasker 135 on my 35/3. (Fred has seen it.) I put a lot of
miles on it and was very happy.  If you can find a "stock" size chute you
will save yourself significant dollars.  I would not hesitate to buy from
them again.

Dave — I ordered a new 135% Offshore genoa from Rolly Tasker back on May 16th; 
actually, you don’t order directly from Rolly Tasker in Thailand any more, you 
go through a guy in Florida who works in Thailand for a while, and now does 
their sales in the U.S.  The company in Florida is called National Sales.

The sail was delivered in the last week of June.  I’ve had it unfurled several 
times now, and it performs quite well; and the construction looks very good.  
It’s still so stiff that it doesn’t yet furl easily, but I’m also used to my 
15-year-old previous 135% that was worn pretty thin…   :^)

The sail cost me $2187, which included shipping from Florida to Minnesota 
(after the sail arrived in FL from Thailand).  This is with a Sunbrella UV 
cover and no foam luff.

While communication with Dirk in Florida was sometimes a bit slow, I’m happy 
with the quality and cost of the sail; it definitely seems built to “offshore” 
standards.  And I look forward to getting a chance to fly it again this weekend!

We have a Quantum asym with ATN sock.  Very nice shape and we are quite 
pleased.  Have used with and without sock. Can actually sail it deeper than we 
thought.  Was brand new when we bought the boat (just delivered).  Is from the 
Quantum loft nearest New Bedford Mass. Your 33-2 and our Frers 33 are extremely 
similar boats so what works for us should work for you

Not sure if that is any help.  Could find out the cost if required

Hello - first of all, if  have one for sale, please contact me off list!

Secondly - I read a positive review of rolly tasker sails here a few months 
back.  I believe the poster was Canadian.  Any idea of importation costs?  
(Freight quoted at $65US)

I see a site online - ispinnakers out of Utah. (And Asia I suspect).  They 
stock a range of sizes, pricing is very competitive.   Any opinions?  

Thanks!
