Anyone have experience with "Sail Care" for sail reconditioning?
They are in Ford City, PA and they basically dry clean the sails and then
re-resin the sails. Mostly a cosmetic fix-up. Will NOT restore a sail that has lost it's shape!!! Money is better spent on new sails or newer used ones. RB |

Used them a couple of times. They do a great job!

Made the sail look like new but I'm not sure about the shape - basically it was a cosmetic fix in my mind. Pretty costly as well and I probably wouldn't do it again. -- Evan Gatehouse you'll have to rewrite my email address to get to me ceilydh AT 3web dot net (fools the spammers) |

That is only exactly what they claim to do. They specifically
state that their process will not fix a sail with poor shape. They also state that they do not recut sails and that one would have to go to a sailmaker for that service. I had my main done on my C&C 36 and it cost around $250 and that included a couple of minor repairs and some restitching. I though it was a pretty good deal. Got many more years out of the sail even thought its shape wasn;t perfect. Doug s/v Callista "Evan Gatehouse" wrote in message ... "Investcom" wrote in message ...
