Somerset Sails

Excellent price and service. It's also a nice drive out in the country. Of course, Martin ships all over the world, also.

We purchased a roller furler and a new Genoa from Somerset sails. The pricing and the quality were outstanding. The next year we bought a matching mainsail. We are more than satisfied with the sails and service. It's also great to deal with a local operation.

I visited this sail loft yesterday. Martin gave me some excellent advise on what sails I should keep and what additional sails I should have for sailing down south.
The loft was busy with three local ladies cutting sail cloth on very large table. Martin and staff were very friendly.
Ultimately I ordered a code 0 with a furler, and watched the design process right in the shop.

My only complaint with Somerset Sails is they are to far away from Tampa Bay and shipping is expensive to the Great Lake area. I've purchased 3 sails and all have been excellent. Some minor glitches which Martin always deals with without complaint. I wish he had some cooperative agreement with a local sail maker that would save some shipping when that happens. Martin has been very personable and always willing to offer some saged advice. There is no shortage of cynical "experts" when it comes to sails, all I know is my poky old Catalina 30 goes like H**L with the sails made by Somerset.
