Looks amzing, that is one thing my boat is lacking, sails. Just of out interest how much were they??
I like the look of white sails rather than brown, which i have :cry:

Beautiful! New sails - one of this year's dream goals.... What are the details of the supplier & how long from order to delivery?
Thanks!

they would have been done in 2 weeks,
due to chinese new year holiday,
they took 4 1/2 weeks.
total of headsail & mainsail cost Au$ 1662 in late Dec.2011 without any prints on them then ,with the AU/US $ 1.-03 ,now they would have been cheaper again AU$/US$ 1.06
look up dave@islandplanetsails.com
you have to give him the measurements,( try not to copy 100% of your old sails as they might have been stretched :? )
it's a good idea to get someone that know what he is doing to do the measurement :)
