I may purchase a whole new set of sails for my 1983 H31. If I do this I wil be replacing the main and two genoas, a 155 and a 110. I have several excellent sail makers in my area.What I need is pretty darn vanilla. However, we pay a state sales (not sail!) tax. If purchased from a place without a physical presence in Texas the tax is not collected. I am not looking for financial or tax advice, or to start a debate regarding possible sail choices.This combination of sails has worked well for us. I may add a drifter ar some point, but frankly there are not a ton of light air sailing days down here on the Texas coast once you get to about 2:00pm.

My question for you sailors out there is this. Has anyone purchased sails from the SBO site? If so, what was your experience? That is all.

I am very much aware when the President of the former Hunter Marine worked out details for this site to handle the parts sale and much went into this to include trust to take care of you owners. Although I am a retired sailboat dealer, I have found that extra care in handling is more apparent with this forum store and they do have your specs on the boat and they answer your questions and if there is ever an issue, it is resolved quickly and the price is within line of others. I would deal with them if I owned a boat.

I haven't needed to replace sails, but every time I've purchased from here I've been happy.
