guys

there are heaps of good sailmakers in oz and it is a very compeditive market, the main difference is in service and back up.
Which is only an issue if you are racing.
Don't be afraid to get a quote from the big guys like Norths and then tell them if their quote is too high, as they usually price match.
There are also a lot of new high performance/longer life sail cloths too.
If you have the time shop around, you will learn a lot too as good sailmakers are a wealth of sailing knowledge too.
