Our 1986 C22 needs new sails. Any recommendations, suggestions on who to go to for these sails would be appreciated. Wisconsin sail lofts?

I bought a jib for our Capri-18 from the loft here on the Trailer Sailor. It was poorly made, especially for the price I paid, very disappointed. Bought a new loose footed full batten main for our C-22 from Catalina Direct and have been extremely pleased with the workmanship and performance. There are better sails for more money, but we're not racers, we're cruisers looking for value and of course better performance. Besides, I'm a big fan that Catalina Direct supports our boats with parts and they have been a huge supporter of the Catalina-22 National Association for many years. Living in San Diego, I have many choices for sail lofts, and I chose Catalina Direct when it came time to replace my mainsail.

I too, sail an '86 and I bought a brand new Ullman Sails 150 Genoa and main sail from Catalina Direct about a year ago. They ran a special in the Fall, taking 15% off the usual price for orders to be filled during the winter and delivery in the spring. The new sails were well worth the wait. I donated my old main to a fellow C22 owner, bent on that new main and Genoa and, "Holy Cow! It's like she's turbo charged!!"

I bought a Rolly Tasker full batten main and 150 headsail in the last year, I thought the price was fair and the sails are excellent in my opinion.

I also bought a Rolly Tasker main and jib recently, from sail warehouse.com. While I have not seen enough different sails to be able to give an experienced opinion, these definitely look good to me. They're a little cheaper than CD's Ullman sails, but having never seen the Ullmans in person, I can't make a direct comparison.
