Let's face it there are no shortage of things to spend your money on with a sailboat! But there aren't many more rewarding things to splash out on than a new suit of sails.
We held it off too long with our Yankee and it actually fell apart on us at the end of last season! That was partly because as a cruiser you're rarely in one place long enough to get to know and trust a sail loft to know they are going to deliver what you want.
We heard lots of good things about Precision sails, though, and after meeting them in Annapolis last year we went ahead with ordering out new sail from them.
This video takes you through that process, from the research we did before the order, through the consultations with Precisions sail designers to having the sail delivered and testing it out.
We go through sail cloth choice, which cut to go with and many other choices to get the best possible sail for cruising. Some of the decisions may surprise you, but I can tell you we are extremely happy with the outcome and think we have the best possible sail for what we want to do.
We can thoroughly recommend working with Precision Sails, do check them out at... www.precisions...
