Sail service and washing

[PhillM]

I've got a 2 year old main and a 3 year old jib that could do with a decent clean, inspection and I'm sure a few stitches that need repairing.

Based Southampton.

Any recomendations?

I've used Banks' sails - just off the A27 past Swanwick. Believe they collect but have always dropped myself.

North sails did a great job on mine and at a reasonable price - they have sheds in Port Hamble and Hamble Point to drop sails off and they stored them over the winter too�� may pick up point in Ocean Village too?

Many of the chandleries and sail makers ( incl Banks'Sails and North Sails) send the sails to Tip Top sail laundry

Pick the most convenient from that list and ask for a price

What would be useful to know is who adds the lowest mark up?

I used Arun Sails last year. Also sent my sprayhood and cockpit enclosure for washing and reproofing. I imagine they use tiptopsais like others but the difference then comes in how they check the sails and make any repairs required. I was really impressed with cleaning, repairs and reproofing for the covers so happy to recommend them. They collected and redelivered when I wanted them. They will also remove from the boat and, I think, put back onto the boat for a small extra charge

I have used several lofts over the past few years most use Tiptopsails for professional cleaning. I really like Ben at Shore Sails in Swanick, he has done a number of repairs for me, always good advice, economical repairs and very reasonable price.
