Anyone know anything about Peak Sails? I came across their web site, and they seem pretty competitive. Here are costs for a DS main from six sailmaker web sites:
North Sails: $1,260. 3.8oz fabric, 1 reef.
Harding (via Cape Cod Shipbuilding): $1,040, NS fabric, 1 reef.
Doyle: $1,020. NS fabric, NS reef.
Peak: $690. 5.11oz fabric, 2 reef. 2 full battens. Luff slugs.
Pryde: $670. 5.53oz fabric, NS reef.
Intensity: $279. 5.9oz fabric, 1 reef.
I'm not sure I believe the 5.9oz fabric for Intensity. That's what I have now, and it doesn't seem particularly heavy. I note you could buy four Intensity mains for the price of one North main, and have enough left over for a jib. But intensity imports a very basic sail, not finely finished. The Peak sail is a tri-radial cut with more adjustments and features, and still much less than Doyle, Harding, or North. Where do they cut their corners?
