Does anyone know if the Stevensons are still taking sail orders??
I tried the email address and haven't heard back, but I know Mike has relocated so . . .
And if they are not, is there any other reputable sailmakers out there.
My last resort would be to, gulp, sew them myself from a sail rite kit.
I live in a bit of a sailing hot spot (Vancouver, BC) so am I best to just get them made locally?
If so, do I just take the plans down to the sailmaker's and tell them,
"I want THIS . . . with reef points"
Can you tell I am a beginner when it comes to sailing?
The building of Isla has been very educational, the sailing will be downright exciting!!
Hopefully launching this summer so I need to start thinking about things like sails and trailers.
I promise to post some pics soon but they will have to be very far away from Barnacle Jim's. Let's just say my boat doesn't have seahorses (yet).
Thanks in advance,
Steven Goodman
