Buying a MAINSAIL From China? [Capable Cruising Guides]
Emily & Clark's Adventure
Hi! We are Clark and Emily, living small and intentionally together (currently aboard our 50-year-old sailboat, S/V Temptress, which we fix and maintain ourselves). This is our adventure. Here we share monthly Aventure Logs, Intentional Life Philosophy, Capable Cruising Guides to help other boaters select equipment and supplies, and regular old moments in our life (including music, laundry, and the like).

Our mainsail was cut to ribbons in July after getting blasted with a 50k squall. When we arrived in Luperon, we measured our main and ordered a new one from China. In this video, we unbox it to take a look at the workmanship, take off the old sail, and prep the boom and sail cover.
To avoid issues with product placement and advertising, we did not include the cost of the sail in the video. But we bought it from Lee Sails (Hong Kong) and the price of the sail was $2,920 USD. (We also had to pay customs, tax, and delivery.) Lee Sails was kind enough to give us a slight discount on the sail because of our YouTube channel.
