Best Place to Order 150 Genoa for C22
I need a standard hank on Genoa 150 for a Chrysler 22. I found a price of $695 at The Sail Warehouse, but Probably some guys here know of a place with better prices. Can anyone suggest a place or two to check out?
Thanks,
Carl

Since you are not too far away might I recommend that you get in contact with Aris Tsamis at Mariner Sails Wind and Watersports in Dallas. This independently owned store has a full service sail loft and a very stellar reputation for a quality product, fair pricing and excellent customer service in the Dallas/Ft Worth and Oklahoma areas. I own a suit of their sails for my restored Lone Star 16. In addition, Mariner is a Hobie Cat catamaran dealer (sales & parts), windsurfing shop, R/S sailboats, and carries a full assortment kayaks from about seven different manufacturers.
You can contact Aris by phone at 972/241-1498 or via the store website www.mariner-sails.com. This past February, they moved into a brand new location (11110 N. Stemmons Freeway {I-35N}) with three times the former floor space.
I hope that this recommendation will be a great help to you.

Thanks For The Info
I had one other question. Do you think adding roller furling is worth it? I am usually sailing solo. Thanks for the feedback on the sails. I will check these sources out.
Thanks,
Carl

I personally believe it is very well worth it.
Keep in mind though. Adding roller furling can be quite a cost.
This cost can not be expected to be recovered at the time of sell. You may get lucky or it may help sell a boat but it does not necessarily increase the cash value much.
Just a thought . . . . . .

Hey Carl,
Roller furling is the way to go for short or single handing. But keep in mind that a hanked on 150 genoa has more sail area than a "150" on a furler. That is because the foot of the sail on the hanked on jib is at deck level, but furlers typically require a yankee cut jib, with the clew well off the deck. That's one reason race boats don't use furlers. But, crusiers love them.
Pros: Easy to handle, easy to reef, never have to flake your sail at the end of the cruise, easier to see under it for traffic
Cons: Expensive, more complicated, more to go wrong, not as easy or quick to change sails, less sail area.

I put a roller furler on my and love it. But mine is a fixed keel and stays in a slip in a marina. It might be a differnt story if I trailer sailed.
I just took my 150 genoa in to Mariner Sails there in N. Dallas for a repair and had them put Sunbrella UV strips on the edges so I don't have to mess with a jib sock anymore. They do good work there.
