I need to find a sailmaker in the mid Atlantic region with experience with beachcats who can rework the luff curve of my sail. The reason I am looking for a reasonably local loft is my assumption it would be best for the sailmaker to see the sail on the mast. I think the sail has too much depth, particularly in the upper third. If I get the top working the leach tails on the lower part stall. The situation may be hopeless.
Can anyone recommend a sailmaker somewhere between Virginia and Connecticut?

I wouldn't limit yourself on sail makers like that. Any good sail maker should be able to work with bend numbers and not have to see the pair together. Also, pictures, LOTS of pictures.

Tony Arends is affiliated with a major sail loft and building beach cat sails again, racerxsailing at comcast dot net, Annapolis, MD. If you are in the area, consider racing Tuesday evening, a one-design fleet regatta, and/or an open race this season.

Kris - Tony Arends (aka Racerxsailing) is not doing sail work at this time. Oh well ...
Thanks for suggestion and the invitation to race at Annapolis.
