Hello from Gulfport and Moondance

Hi everybody,
My husband and I recently retired and bought a Beneteau 461. Moondance is 15 years old and I guess we will learn a lot taking care of her. She has an in-mast furling system with electric winches that is not working too well. We have a sag in the mainsail and need to replace it. THIS is our first boat and we can sure use advice from you all. Have NeilPryde make us a new sail, or have a sailmaker do it? Sail Care in PA gave us a good quote. Any advice?

It's my understanding that you can have your main cut into a better shape. Shop your local sailmakers!
