Hi Jim,
this is interesting. Is it that the material they are using for the laminates is manufactured overseas and then assembled here, or is the material manufactured overseas for the laminates and also turned into a sail overseas? As I was looking for a loft this past fall to build a new yankee, I wanted to have a sail built in the U.S. - I'm a believer in putting my money where my mouth is - I don't like all our manufacturing going to China etc., so I try to buy local, even if it costs me a few bucks more. I also put value into the sailmaker personally measuring and fitting the sail, and I must say that I feel it was worth the extra money over mail ordering - I ended up with a different cut than i was anticipating, and the boat is significantly faster and sails better now. So, back to build location. My local Quantum rep. in Annapolis told me that their sails, and I understood it to be all Quantum sails, were built at a central loft in, if I remember correctly, Michigan. We were, of course, talking Dacron since I cruise instead of race. Did this change, or is it just all Dacron sails?
