On sails, all the majors as well as some of the smaller lofts have had success in our class--and I think we each have our favorites! But regardless of the loft you choose, don't overlook service. A pro can and should help you get your rig tuned to match the sails, show you the proper fairlead settings and how to trim the sails in various conditions. If you're lucky he or she will do a couple races with you, aid in getting your crew organized, and help point you in the right direction.
