This is my third year with Gracie, 98 WB # 360. She has the original 135 jib which was not in the best shape when I bought her. There was some UV degradation, Apparently the "treatment" Catalina uses loses its effectiveness after a few years. Anyway, this season winter I took it to a local sail loft and had it cleaned and repaired but I see the need for a new jib in another year or so. Rather than add a heavy sunbrella strip I opted for a jib sock for now. The cost of repair, I found, is high and you can get a good price for a foreign made sail. (We're talking sails here so "good price" is, I realize, a relative term.) Has anyone bought a 135 roller furling jib recently and what should I expect to pay? Can anyone recommend a good source?

I just purchased a new jib from SailCare @ $900. They are located in Ford City,PA. They are good to work with. I also purchased sails from Ullman Sails in Ventura,CA. Also great to work with and very Knowledgeable of Catalina 250.

Rolly Tasker Sails are reasonably priced, several sources available. National Sail Supply, The Sail Warehouse, and Island Planet Sails.
