Anywhere from $850 to $2500 for a cruising (inshore) Dacron furling 135% genoa
for my Catalina 270 (summer 2022).
You have to shop around (get quotes) and insist on comparing oranges to oranges.

As you probably know, a drone has cameras/sensors that look to avoid obstacles.
When the drone returns to the boat, it gets very wary of approaching the sail,
the rig, etc, so it's hard to catch. The drone being used on Malizia has a
handle hanging down and they do show the operator on the
Hi Shawn,
I had an Olson 30 I raced on lake Ontario, the Landfall is not that. It
sails well for being a 43' cruising boat (modified fin, short rig). To
be honest, I don't pay too much attention to how fast we're going and how
much wind there is. When there's wind we sail, when we drop below 2
Interesting and you’ve obviously thought it through. Great fun looking and
pondering. I do struggle with the ‘80s centre cockpit types, for reasons I
mentioned, despite feeling otherwise at one point. (And really wanting to
love and buy an amel super maramu before locking in on the OVNI).
Yes! It's like flying, anybody can take off in a plane, but landing is
another story.! When he first launched it, he almost ran the drone into the
leech. I would think they would buy one of those splash drones that can
survive in water.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for chiming in, some good points there. I have noticed that
relationship between cockpit sole height/boom height and aft cabin space,
and it is one thing I dislike about many of the newer C, although I
could probably get used to it. I recall spending a few hours in a 37+ and

I guess I am a hard core "club" racer who buys racing sails when the
current sail becomes too deformed for racing, de-laminates or not enuf
of remains after it blew out. I have not replaced a sail that was
younger then 20 yrs old. In fact my Hood Vectron mainsail is twenty
years old and
Shawn - Fwiw - I’ll chime in having spent many years going through this, and
having gotten comfortable with the various trade offs and just closed the
purchase of my next boat (alubat OVNI 435….) I’ve accepted that Driving the
OVNI will be more G-Wagen than Lotus…
IMO Any c is pretty moderate
Similar to my recent (2020/2021) 155% 3Di from North. No luff cover-I use a
sleeve—and IIRC it was ~$6600 all in.
It was of medium weight for potential racing near the ocean and hopefully for
better longevity!

Hi,
I've been following the IMOCA foilers every day. The coverage has been
spectaculare because each boat has a photo/journalist aboard to cover the
experience in video. My favorite is Malizia with Boris Herrmann. The recent
drone footage has been amazing of cruising at 25 to 29knots
I had a new 155% made by Quantum for my C 110 in 2020 . It was a carbon fiber
tri-radial with Liteskin. $6300 plus tax and delivery.

Hi Kevin and other Landfall 43 owners:
"Sails well for what it is"... that's what concerns me... not sure I am
ready to sail a Hunter-bago! I know it won't accelerate or turn like my 35,
but I need to be sailing if there's wind, not motoring, as that would not
work for me.
So what is the minimum
I have new sails on order for my 35’ sailboat although it isn’t a C, it is a
Saga and made by many of the C (and Hinterhoeller) craftsmen. A new tri
radial dacron main was $4840 and a 105% tri radial dacron jib was $3385. By
the time I added some extras (second reef point, reefing blocks)
After racing for 20+ days, the 4 boats are within 20 nm of each other.

Hi Dennis,
Appreciate your feedback. Wasn't Hurricane Sally in 2004? Twenty years ago.
I remember quotes around 2010 from North for a genoa in the $3800 price range
for dacron, but costs have gone up considerably. The new sail quote ($5200)
was for a light wind 150% racing sail by Elvstrom
Most of these guys (North, Ullman, etc) have the sails made overseas. Like you
said, it’s the local personal service that makes the difference.

Forgot to add. It was a furling genoa with foam luff and UV protection.

My 20 year old Dacron "delivery" sail got shredded in Hurricane Sally. I
was quoted $3600-3800 for a Dacron crosscut 155 for my 35-1 by Ullman and
North. I went with a different sailmaker who came to the boat, measured
and ordered it from Quantum's offshore manufacturing facility in Sri
Lanka.
I paid about $3600, in 2016, for a 135% heavy duty off shore with, sunbrella sun protection, foam to help with shape when furled, extra stitching blah blah blah, for a 40 tartan. DannyCurrently BoatlessOn Mar 18, 2023 9:54 AM, CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List wrote:

Sail costs: A new light air genoa was quoted at $5200 for my 36 footer, so I
decided instead to have repairs made to my old sails. They repaired my #2 for
$700. They will alter my #3 for a little more. They are removing horizontal
battens and installing vertical battens, and adding UV, so
