Anyone in the Rochester NY area know of a sail repair shop to tighten loose stitching before next season without costing me half my salary?

Whoever you decide to take your sails to, have the guy give you an itemized written out estimate of the cost. Go to a few of them and and make your decision. I went to one sail maker a few months ago, who just wanted to sell me a new Mainsail at--$1370. He said that my sail was sun rotted and not worth fixing. I then took it to another sail maker who checked it out and said that the sail was still in good condition for it's age, and could be repaired for about $200. The final cost was almost $270. Word of mouth is no good. Get it in writing. I'll know better next time.
Just paid for a ck up and repair on 5 sails- came to $214 at Haarstick Sailmakers on Hudson Ave 585.342.5200
