I am not a racer, by any means. The price on the mylar was not that much higher, as the quote.
The sailmaker quoted me for a 5.1 oz dacron (white) square top, with battens, @ $725.00. No numbers, no logos. I didn't want the logos, but the numbers, I will want. I believe he said an additional $60.00 for my numbers. This price doesn't include shipping. He quoted me $356.00 for the jib. I also was taught that the life of the mylar is not that of a dacron. I am not the every day sailor, like I'd like to be. I have my Ranger 22, monohull that I take out more than my Nacra 5.2, only because when I go to the lake, I tend to bring 2-3 friends.
