4040 mainsail

First day of the season, 20 knots and we blew out a reef point. Sad. We will ask Harding for a repair but it is an old sail (blue moon, ‘ 95 4040). Had anyone bought new?

The quantum loft in rochester NY “made” my main a few years ago and did a beautiful job. (Former owner made the purchase). I say “made” because all they do is design it and a super loft in Indonesia assembled it. All sail lofts do it this way now, and if I was going to have a new main built for me today, I would consider talking to your local sail loft. They can take all the measurements, design it and have it built. Then if theres a problem you will be able to go to them for service. I had a genoa made by Precision sails on my old boat a few years ago and learned the hard lesson of “you get what you pay for”. It was cheaper but even though I took my own measurements, the sail just didnt look right.
