compared to UK sail prices. I have five hand made multi-mode (1 camber
inducer, rotational or semi-soft) sails produced by a small (but very well
respected) sail loft in Cornwall (SW England). My sails range from 3.2 sq m
to 6.0 sq m and if memory serves me right the costs ranged from 174 pounds
(US$290) to 240 pounds (US$400).
Why not pop over to the UK for your hols and pick-up some less expensive
gear.
Dave.
