Has anyone made Sailrite sails for their Vacationer?
Yes, I liked them very much. Easy to do and can be dome on a home maching but better with a HD model.
Konrad- I have a set of Sailrite sails on my P/C that turned out very well. The Kit comes with everything you need and a set of good instructions. Bud
I've been to their site, but when I search "Vacationer" it only lists jibsails. Is it best just to call them?
For the price of a kit from SailRite, you should check out
www.thesailwarehouse.com for their prices on new and used sails.
I've made sails once and will never do it again. It's a lot of work, most of it by hand, to do a good sail. You don't save much with a SailRite kit and the effort just isn't worth it to me. Sail makers earn every dollar they ask for. Also check DuckWorks and their prices for new sails.
$800.00 for a set of Vacationer sails..?
That's about half of what it cost me to build the whole danged boat back in '99.
Stupid inflation. :?
I may be looking at farmtek again....
My sail kits were $540 with tax in 2000. It took me 30 - 40 hours to assemble the kits over a three day weekend. 8) 8)
