"I received my new mainsail last week and put it up this weekend. The fit was perfect! It clears the back stay, the foot is the right length, the luff is just to the black stripe and the shape is great.

What a difference the sail made, I logged approximately 50 nautical miles this weekend just running around (Swansea to Newport and back, plus a few side trips). I particularly like the batten pocket design, it is very easy to load and pre-tension the battens, unlike my old sail. I thought that with the two full battens it would be more difficult to raise, but it went up by hand, winch only for final tensioning.

I am extremely pleased and I plan on ordering a new headsail within a year and it will be a Cruising Direct sail." -Patrick J. Fatyol, Raynham, MA

"Not a hitch in it, sets beautiful and the boat moves! Construction is first class as well" - Catalina 25 owner, Bill Fish, from Port Washington, NY.

"I put my new gennaker up and it looked awesome! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for sails." -Trey Barrett

"I have used the Gennaker for the first time this week...in a word "Awesome" .....Easy to deploy and douse with the snuffer. Thanks..." -Dale Matty

"I have purchased two sails from Cruising Direct for my Catalina 27. The 120 helped me win the C27 Nationals. In both cases the price was slightly more than half what the lofts, even Catalina, wanted. Would I buy another CD sail? Absolutely." -Owner in California

"Although I didn't have any problems measuring my boat, it was a bit tricky. The Cruising Direct Buyer's Guide is well designed and written. I bought a main and genoa that were fairly priced, well made, and promptly delivered. I would buy another in a New York minute." -Owner in Florida
