Time to replace my main sail cover. I live on the Jersey shore and want to know of any local sail/canvas shops that can be recommended?
If not how is LeeSails? Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

I have purchased 2 sail covers, for 2 different boats, from the store on this site. They are made very well and fit perectly. The velcro closure at the mast is an especially nice feature. Maybe not the cheapest out there, but worth the money. Very fast turnaround time too.

I, too, bought a mainsail cover from SBO and thought it was very good quality. The cover, however, I think made by Ameriseam, did not have adjustable closures on the underside which would be handy, particularly if you have a new sail that is stiff. I had some trouble getting the cover around the new main on my H28.5 and so SBO sent me some additional buckles free to extend the straps. Nice.

Ditto. Bought my sail cover from SBO four years ago. Still looks like new and I love the Hunter logo on it. Well made, well worth the money.

I purchased a helm cover from this site - measuring and ordering was straight forward followed by a nice product delivered in less time than quoted. I suggest you look at what is offered here.

Thanks,
Garner

I don't have a main sail cover from Leesailcovers.com, but I do have a deck bag, tiller cover, and custom motor cover. The Weathermax 80 fabric seems nice, and has lasted a couple months so far :D

I expect if I do need a main cover, I'll go with Lee, so that it matches the other Weathermax fabric. (Existing older Sunbrella Pacific blue is a bit darker than the Weathermax Pacific blue…)

I used Lee for a sail cover on my Newport 17. I was please with both price and construction.

This site also offers them as others have mentioned.

For a local loft I used Linthicum Sailmakers, Somerdale NJ, for a main sail for the Newport and the sail cover for our O'day 25.
I was very pleased with both and Brad, the owner, is very easy to work with. A current quote for a new O'day 25 Main Sail was around $900 and 2 to 3 week delivery.

I'm told Linthicum is the only loft left in NJ as John Eggars and another NJ loft has closed.
