My apologies that the original notice for the "fleet" discount with EP Sails didnt get posted earlier this year. I've been watching for the announcement, and somehow managed to miss it. I'm now actually ON the EP mailing list, so hopefully next year we'll know in a more timely fashion.
As for this year - I just got off the phone with Harry Pattison, he is willing to extend the 2008 discount (we made the cut for the 25% discount this year) until Dec 23rd. The only caveat is that the D4 pricing was only good until Nov 21st, so there is a 5% price increase over what was originally offered.
If anyone is interested in the EP brochure, PM or email me and I'll send it. Here's the Nov 21st prices, so the effective discount will be about 20% (+5% for 2009 D4 prices, -25% fleet discount):
Main (no reef) - $1765 Main (1 reef) - $1842 155% - $2038 140% - $1918 94% - $1445
Non-D4 Load Path sails (these probably still have 25% discount, but no +5% 2009 bump): Dacron race main - $1570 Elite 43 Spin (.75) - $1588 Elite 36 Spin (.6) - $1686 Heavy air spin (.75 w/ 1.5 luffs) - $1475
I have not personally sailed/raced using EP sails - YET! I'm currently in the process of converting my inventory from North Sails to EP, and the upcoming season will be my first chance. I'll let everyone know how it goes, but I have great expectations. EP has always been very active with the Capri25.
