Sailmaker Suggestions Please

[brenhi01]

Hi. I'm looking for suggestions for a good sailmaker in my area for cruising sails. I live in Seattle, WA and am looking to purchase a new main and self furling jib (with hw as I currently hank on). I have a 1976 Catalina 30 tall rig.

Thanks!

These are the two best in my opinion. Even if you did not eventually purchase from these firms you really owe yourself a visit because you will learn plenty just talking with them.

Why not check out sailboatowners.com?? These guys provide FREE forums for sailors while other marine companies provide nothing, but the free service they provide cost them $$$ to provide.

Oops - I obviously forgot to finish my last. Having visited with others the Sailiboatowners store is a very good choice. In fact, I predict you will end up at this store because the quality is good and the price will - almost certainly - be much more agreeable.

I have used FX sails and the sail warehouse with good luck each time. Lead time is longer at FX sails.
