For sure!

Looks like around 350$ for a similar sized Genoa..  I'll probably have to wait a season as my wife is already getting shocked at all the extra expenses.  Boat hooks, dock lines, flares, ladder to access on the hard..

Funny thing is, my biggest concern is that my main is new and the genny is stained and wrinkled.. I'm more concerned with how bad it will look with a distant second being it's ability to hold shape or function.

I just got my sails back from SailCare and they look GREAT! Almost like new, crisp and clean.

The sails are probably 10 years and starting to get pretty dingy. The roller furler genoa also needed the head and tack webbing replaced.

I gotta say that I am very pleased with their service.

{moved post so STUPIDLY posted in the wrong thread to the right thread}

Instead of boat licenses, we need to talk about computer licenses...at least for me this week.

Wanted to add my praises for Sail Care.

They did a fantastic job cleaning and reconditioning my two headsails (genoa and working jib).  I absolutely could not believe the difference in the genny.  My main was beyond hope, so I had them make me a new one.

Here's what was in the box:

New main plus two reconditioned head sails, very neatly furled.

A full set of sail ties for the new main.

A brand new, very nice sail bag for the new main.

A copy of the most recent issue of "Good Old Boat" magazine.

They were VERY nice, professional and respectful in dealing with them on the phone and via email.  I dealt with Jerry.

I have not sailed with the new main yet, so I cannot comment on performance.  But she 'looks' cut very nice and all stitching and reinforcing looks very solid.

So far, I have no qualms giving them my best recommendation.
