The Largs sail makers will be guaranteed to charge well over the odds, infact think of a number and double it.

I have had several sails repaired or recut by Saturn and have been pleased with the service. I have also used Jess Sail in Ardrossan but have been very disappointed in the quality of work and service. Tom
