By the way you actually mean SMOD sails as OD still allows you to purchase modern sails that aren't that much slower. I think that is just one of those drawbacks you have to accept when sailing in a SMOD class where the monopolized builder is having a crap quality control system in place.

There is no reason why a SMOD builder can't sell up to date class compliant sails other then his desire to maximally milk class members for money by sourcing our the production of sails to some Chinese sweat chop.
