[C38] Looking for a jib for Catalina 38

[Steven Ribble]

Oops, I meant Hallett Sails in Falmouth, Maine not Freeport.

The real point is that you get more than a sail when you choose a local
loft...they'll measure the rig (and thereby be responsible for the sail's
fit), go on tune up sails with you, do repairs quickly (usually you will
have priority over a sail in for repair that they didn't build/sell), etc,
etc. And, once you buy a sail or two from a local loft you can usually get
better/negotiated pricing on subsequent sails.
