Collecting quotes for a blade, and EP has given me a nice option.. is anyone sailing EP sails? Any feedback would be appreciated... Im teetering between the 95% gold aramid blade and a dacron version...

Hope your somewhere warm enough to hoist and go!

Hey Jim! There are quite a few EP sails in the Wyzata fleet. My sailmaker is Ballard Sails in Seattle and they have made me some fast sails. Doesn't hurt to get a quote.

Jim, last year I bought an EP main during their fall sail (usually 20% off) and very happy with it. This year, taking Ben's advise, I bought a 140 from Ballard and can not complain at all. I've only sailed it one time so far and could see and feel a huge difference over my old one. I think you would do well with either loft. I do like that Ballard made my sail in their loft, EP sends them out (overseas somewhere). Just my two cents.
