My friend with the Capri 26 just reinstalled his roller furling genoa after sending it to sail Care. He also bought one of their Plastimo furlers to replace hid aged CDI furler. Everything looks great, including the sail. His has the white UV material on one side of the leech and foot. He said they also fixed the stitching in several places. I'm looking forward to sailing with him in some Wed. night club races when they start up April 1 to see how the sail and furler perform.

Good news. I have been pondering whether or not to send my furling genoa along with my main after the last thread on Sailcare.

One qualifier, I have not yet sailed with him to test out the sail. All we did was hoist it, but it did look good. In case there is more than one Sail Care location, I believe he used the one in Ford City. PA.
I do recommend sending the sails separately. Send the main first, and talk to them about the genoa before sending it to them and voice your concerns.
