Owen Sails just north of Oban we are very pleased with ours. One test, if it fits etc is to look at the stitching closely, is it even, parallel , not too tight or slack.

Theres a chap in the Gosport area makes them they are half the price quoted by another local company. He makes hoods for convertible cars as well.

Might not be too far from the truth there.....
We needed new dodgers some years ago, and were given a quote of over £100 from a sailmaker. Found a local firm that did lorry covers and advertising banners, and were apologetically told they would be £20.
The guy did throw in some vinyl to make the letters though...... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Would have agreed about C&J a few years back but they've become very expensive IMO. Last quote I had from them prompted me to go and buy the sewing machine/materials and DIY
Bit like asking David Hockney to paint the topsides - good job but perhaps out of my league

Whatever you do , do not use Lucas Sails. I had the most atrocious job done by them. In my opinion they are not capable of doing the job right.

Re: C&J they seem to take ages to complete the job. I remember at the SIBS they were quoting me 4-5 months for a sprayhood for my Gibsea 84 and that was if I ordered there and then.
I went back to C&J as I'd had one off them before for a Lesiure 23. That took around 3 1/2 months BUT it was a damned fine hood and worth the money/wait.
