Today the Admiral decided we needed a new main sail. The old one is yellowed and looks crappy. The Newport 17 came with a new, crisp, white jib which makes the main look even worse.
Any suggestions on a good source for a sail? Any advice on buying one?

Buy local and support your local economy also they will measure it for you help install and tune then take to them every other year for freshing up

I just bought a new Jib and Mainsail from Diebold Sailing, 5556 Edgewater Drive, Toledo, Ohio USA 43611 (call them at 419 726-2933 (Main Office) or see their website at www.dieballsailing.com.

I shopped around at the various big name lofts at the boat shows. But a recommendation via word of mouth from a very winning boat was the reason why I went with Dieball. Their price was decent (not the least expensive but definitely "good") and the sails are awesome.

With that said, I am Robert Lang and you can contact me via this forum's e-mail and msg capabilities, if you want to talk privately about this.

A new mainsail is going to cost you less than $500.
Why would you buy used?
The best investment you can make on a sailboat is new sails!

If you have the money, go new and go local. A local guy will be able to come to the boat to check things out.
