Canvas & Sail Links

• In a discussion a while ago on the Matilda Forum, Bob Schwalm advised:
  "I have had 2 Matilda 20s and both needed new main sail covers among other things. GENCO MARINE on King St. in Toronto had the best quality and best pricing both times. Nick Genco has all the specs for both the Matilda 20 and 23, has his own sail loft and even sailed a 20 across lake Ontario years ago. They have all measurements and specs for sails, rigging and cockpit cushions etc, for Matildas, ask for Nick Sr. and you should be away. Bob"
  See Genco's Website for more information.
• If you are looking for used sails, an Aloha Owners Association member reported getting a great deal and service from Minney's Yacht Surplus in California. A great list of used sail dealers can be found on the Sailing Texas website.
