I bought a main and a jib from them. The sails are working geat, used them one season. If you call with a question Jim answers any questions that you have. He has been very helpful. Delivery was prompt and the quality very good. The boat I have is an O'day 22.

I've gotten a few sails from there. Very good quality. The foot of the main for my O'Day 22 was slightly oversize. It still fits on the boom, but just barely. The hanks for the Mariner jib I got were not of the "piston" type and often wouldn't stay on the forestay so I replaced them.

I just got a new main for my 222 from them. The shipping was extremely fast and like the above post mentioned, Jim is helpful if you've got questions. Everything looks good, just waiting for the lake to thaw so I can try it out!

I haven't yet, George, but I'm on the brink. I've been surfing the web shopping for a new genoa and they came back with a quote that I haven't been able to beat yet. So if their quality and customer service are good, I'll be sending them a check real soon.

Consider these smaller outfits even if price his higher:

Re: Sails for sailboats ...

I've purchased a cruising main, a storm jib and a CDI roller furling 150 for my O'Day 25 from Sail Warehouse. They are nice heavy duty sails and I am happy with the sails and the service.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll let my buddy know.

I already have a main for my 222 coming from Neil Pryde in another month. It'll have a few niceties since I know the guy working there. Of course I'll keep you guys posted.

Here's a picture of my brand new main for my 32 from Neil Pryde.....Got a quote from Sail Warehouse but that was for a stock main and I decided to raise the boom 4 inches so I needed a little alteration and dealt with a local sail loft from my sailing club, it didn't cost that much more and I got a much better product.
The same loft quoted me a price for a new 140 jib and he was a lot more money than the Sail Warehouse so when where ready for that jib we'll have to do some research
