If you already know exactly the type of sail you want,
use this form to give us as many specifics about your boat, your
cruising plans, and your new sail as possible. We can then make
exactly the sail you want. If you have questions about which type or
cut of sail is best for you, enter your questions in the 10th line
of the form below. We'll do our best to give you a sensible
answer.
Measuring your boat's rig is easier than it sounds: A
halyard, a tape measure, a pencil, and a piece of notebook paper is
all you need. Along with your rig's general measurements (mainsail
luff and foot, foretriangle, etc.) we'll need specifics such as the
maker and model # of your furling unit and the type and size of the
tracks on your spars. If you can, send us your boat's sailplan or
designer's specifications.
The more information,
the better. But don't worry if
you can't "complete every line"
- chances are we can answer what
you aren't sure about. Once we
get your info, we'll send you
an Order Confirmation and ask
you to send full payment by Credit
Card or by T/T (Telegraphic or
Wire Transfer) for starting production
of your order. Be sure to tell
us which shipment option you prefer
(See "Weighing Your Sail Shipment
Options" below).
