I am looking at ordering a new 155% Genoa from Shoreline Sails in Toronto. Has anyone had any dealings with this company ?
Thanks
Jim

Thanks, for the info., Jose.
I am going with Lee Sails, 135 Genoa, for about the same price as Shore Line( I was surprised, however Lee has a fall time special on until Nov 15) . Main reason is I have seen the Lee sails up close on another boat and was impressed with the work and style.
Re: References for Shoreline Sails
Question, I am looking into possible replacement of my sails and/or adding to them. When I was first sailing I noticed that the main sail allows the boom to drop below the horizonal line before flattening out the sail. This is a first for me (as most mains stay horizonal when the main is raised) and I am unsure why this is. I have noticed this on other boats from their photos. Any answers to this reasoning?
Jim , in your ordering with Lee sails, you had to give the J & I plus maybe the P & E dimension. My boat is presently under it's tarp for the winter so I can not get those numbers. I do have off Mauri Pro Sailing website the following: I - 31.5, J - 10.3, P - 28.0 and E - 10.0, are these close to your numbers? I will be measuring my sails (main and 110 genoa) to get their numbers this weekend, as I have them with me. Thanks, jklee

John,
The dimensions I gave Lee Sails where off this site, for I and J, they will compute the P mesurement based on this, as mine is also in winter storage. They recommended measuring my current sails for comparison, my current Genoa I measures 32.5' , and that is without being able to stretch the leach as much as possible.
Lee sails were pretty confident that the I and J they have on record would fit my boat.
