Dave Maybe we should combine our orders, I'll be looking for a new main this winter for our '85 33-2. Have dealt with Spike here at Doyle Boston, and am happy with what we got. He's "very" local and an active part of our race program here in Sarnia. Brad "Pulse" 1985 C 33-2 Lake Huron

In my area, a few of us subscribe to a laminate headsail/Dacron main philosophy. Seems to work pretty well. I think for the older C's, it's particularly viable since the boats are primarily head sail driven. Touche's racing main is a 1 full + 3 partial batten, loose footed, triradial square

Iv'e got two headsails from Rolly Tasker dealing with the factory in Thailand now and I'm very happy with both. I got the "offshore cruising" sails. So I didn't get their cheapest. Local lofts wanted twice. I'm of the opinion that a sailboat owner needs to do as much of their own work aboard

I have a 3Di 155% genoa which has survived three years of racing. The previous 3Dr ( yes "r" ) lasted 6 weeks, and the replacement 3DL accumulated $1,200 in repairs by the end of the second summer. The 3Di has had some minor winter sail care, edges done due to lifeline or stanchion chafe. I

You should talk to Doyle Boston Sailmakers in Sarnia. They have done a lot of work for me over the years, including re-cutting and re-sizing, as well as a brand new Dacron genoa. Not the cheapest option for new sails, but they are the go-to guys for the racers around here and they just might
