Anybody use Super Sailmakers out of Fort Lauderdale for sails???

I am looking to replace my original set of sails for SOLSTICE (#384 Ketch). I am looking at around $4500 for a full battened main (8.0 weight) mizzen (7.5 weight) and a Yankee cut 110% jib. Thoughts, recommendations, lofts you love. We are located in New England so the location of the loft is not important. I suspect these sails will last me 10 years+ so the relationship with the loft is not all that important at this point. Looking for quality work, great product and appropriate customer service.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WE replaced the sails ( main ,110 genoa and mizzen ) on Ohana hull 337 about 2 years ago. Boy what a differance!
We used Quantum sails. I didn't think the location of a sail loft was important either, there made overseas anyway.
I was very satisfied with Quantum , the guys were professional and responsive when I had questions.
We chose a 2 batten main , which I think I would prefer a full batten main. We had one on a Sabre 28 and it laid in the lazy jacks easier.

Boy does that name ever bring back memories!!!!!
Mom and Dad used him back in the late 60's and 70's as their sail repair on the Tartan's they owned.
Is he still working??

It's also worth to get a price from Dave at www.islandplanetsails.com

he's done other P365's and his prices and quality are great.
