I had a new suite of sails made by a major loft who I won't name (yet!) The new main for my 90' E32-III was built wrong in that the tack is set back about 5" to far aft as well as all the reefing cringles. The other thing I find odd is that the bunt line cringles are considerably lower than the reefing tack position (which I have never seen) I typically think of having them in line from the clew to the tack. This was a very expensive sail that I could have had another loft build for nearly 1/2 the cost. Their solution is to recut the sail by simply removing and re-appling new reenforcing patches and build the sail back up in those areas. Again in 3 places. My question (more specifically to any possible sail makers) I am not certain if I should find this an acceptable solution. Of course I would prefer a new sail but I can already tell that would be an uphill battle and a long wait. I would think the sail is compromised but I am not a sail maker. Just hoping for some honest feedback.
Thanks all!
