SailCare vs Local Loft

I have used them....very happy with them. I have also used VacuWash with saillote treatment. Very happy with them also.
I've used SailCare twice over the last 15 years. Very satisfied I thought shipping was reasonable. Just figure total cost with shipping.

I've used both services, and, while the local loft cleaned the sails very nicely, the Sailcare treatment actually restored the sails. They had a nice, crisp feel to them and were spotless. The other tasks they accomplished, such as adding a set of reef points and resewing the luff rope, were expertly done. The shipping was easy and not expensive.
We don't have a local loft, so I have nothing to compare Sailcare to. I sent them my dirty original '73 sail last year around November. Got it back in March and it looks like a new sail. It's for a Catalina 22 (so it's not a huge sail) but I think in the neighborhood of $130 got me the full cleaning, re-stitched any areas that needed it (and a lot did), re-work the batten pockets and supply new battens, new sail-ties on all of the reefing points, and put my hull number on the sail. I was very happy when I went to bend it on this spring.
