I agree with Dave's comments about Hathaway. I've used them for years and found they do very good work. Bill Chantland runs the store there and is a very nice fellow. His business card has the title HEAD CURMUDGEON.

Hey Brooke, what was the cost and how long did it take ?
I visited the web page for Sailcare and I am very interested.
I too have 10-12 year old sails and I am looking to get one or two more seasons out of them.
Thanks,
Max
