Sail replacement

Post by seanslife »

G'Day Investigators
I'm after a Mainsail and a Jib - mine are showing daylight through the material and the stitching is failing on every edge (I'm having a go at sewing them myself but I think they're too far gone).
Does anyone have sails they'd like to move-on?
Or, any recommendations for getting new versions made? (mine are from Lee Sails in Sydney - were they the original suppliers?)

Cheers

I bought a main, furling jib and code zero from them back in 2011 and was very happy with the results and the service. Check the FB site for how they look now. See elsewhere on the forum for commentary about them.

Ditto based on Peters recommendation. They didn't get the cut of the main exactly right but it works fine and is very well made I would use them again. I would send them the old one to use as a template if I was doing that again. Cost to me was very reasonable.
