Sail Loft Recommendation

I usually like to use Sail care for servicing my sails, but I have a particularly large sail and it wouldn't be practical to ship. So I'm looking for a recommendation for a good quality, but fairly priced sail Loft to clean, repair, re-resin my sail locally. I'm in Delaware, but could drive to want area on the Chesapeake, including Annapolis.... Can someone recommend a good place?

Re: Sail Loft Recommendation

I'm on the other side of the country, but when I was buying a used sail I was impressed with the service of Bacon Sails in Annapolis. I don't know if they offer all the services you are seeking, but I bet they'd be good folks to call for info.

Re: Sail Loft Recommendation

I use Jerry Latell as well, of course, I am only a 20 minute drive from them. Jerry and Justin run a nice shop, very knowledgeable with many years experience. They built the sails for the Coast Guard's Eagle as well as other historical vessels needing specialized sails. I have had them build a main and genoa on two boats and they are building a new racing sail now for me. Great people.
