HAPPY CLIENTS Hi
Al, We
took our new C&C 115 out racing for the first time
yesterday in winds ranging from 5 knots to 25 knots.
I have to tell you, the Kevlar/Mylar main and genoas are
awesome! Beautiful shape, construction and they fit
the boat perfectly. We missed finishing first by 50
seconds in a race over 20 miles, so it was a good
beginning. We reefed the main also at one
point and that worked great also. Thanks
for a super suit of sails! Pat
Waters Dear
Al, Thank
you for your Opti Sail donation to the Pontiac Sailing
Education Foundation. Your

Callahan On
behalf of the DRYA, I would like to thank you for
contributing the new yellow marker for C-Course. This is
another indication of your support for racing in the Robert
H. Schappe On
behalf of the board of directors of Crescent Sail Yacht
Club I wish to express our sincere thanks for the six
starting/finishing flags that you donated for the CSYC
regatta. We appreciate the contribution that you made to
help promote the sport of sailing at Crescent. Tom
Van Egmond Al, Just wanted to thank you and your staff for the great sails you have made me. I have raced my 1968 HR 28 and came in first in our fall
series in Wiarton and second place for the year. People have noticed my sails and have made orders with Mark Harris because of how well they perform.
Thanks again.
John Broad Hi Al, I told you I’d let you know how the new sail was performing…..it is incredible. I know it is only a 24 ft Hunter but the sail has significantly increased the performance and handling of the boat. More forward drive. Yesterday we were consistently sailing between 5.5 and 6 knots in 15 knots of breeze. My hope is to move to a higher performing and bigger boat next year, but if that doesn’t work out I will have you cut me a new main in the fall. I’ll be in touch and thank you! Brad Tunis
Subject: Tanzer 22 Sail Hello Karl I picked up the new sail yesterday morning. I am sorry that you were not there because I would have liked to thank you personally. The sail is everything that I expected and more. It is probably a little premature because I have not yet rigged it to the boat but if the craftsmanship is any indication the sail is perfect. I was watching a piece on the replica of the Godspeed on the History Channel this morning and watching the sail maker work with 17th Century methods made me think to write this Email. Your workmen and women did a fine job and I hope that you will take a minute and let each an every one of them know what a fine example of craftsmanship they produced. I am especially impressed by the reefing attachment at the luff. The arrangement of the clew is also something that looks very well engineered and constructed. Thank you again I am sure that the sail will be everything that we both expect. I am glad that there is talent left on the lakes that is apparent in the sail that you and Doyle have produced. Sincerely. W Steve Lytle, PE The
sails have performed well. Our last day on the last leg
from Thanks, Paul Horst Al,
We used our new Doyle Fibrelay Genoa for the first time at
the Levels/ Beneteau 36.7 Great Lakes Championship. What a
sweet sail and what a range it has. We won race # 3 in
13-18 knots of breeze on Saturday and came back to win
race #4 on Sunday in 1 -5 knots of wind. Out of the 17
boats in our fleet we finished first with an 8-2-1-1 !!!!!
My first Levels win ever. Thanks for a great and fast
sail. Tom Lewin Al
- Thanks
for the news. A few of your Toot2
and Jester took first and second respectively on
the Very
pleased with the sails - Joe continues to provide
excellent dedicated service.
Thanks Al.
Your team has built some great product for us over the
years and we appreciate it. It is a great feeling that
you know you have a real shot to win every time you
leave the dock. Looking forward to the Mac.
Sincerely Ted Johnson Dear
Chuck and Al, Thanks
for ordering and sending me the hardware for the
whisker/spinnaker pole for my old 29.5 Hunter. The
pole and 2 ring mast system works great - and it's
already made a big difference for me downwind. Make
the new sails I purchased from Doyle (last season) work
great. With
appreciation, Al, Since
we started using the new sail we are unbeatable! 2 races
and the Atwood Cup race ( 5 laps in 93 degrees of heat ).
How can I get my boat faster downwind? Give me a call
when you have time. Thanks! Jerry Jerry Bolek
Al, Thanks again for building me a new sail. It just
fits and its very fast. The clew height is just
right, the foot self-skirts and the additional sail area
Vs the old 3DL is considerable. So far, 2 races -
2 O/A's. Jim Shufflin Hi Al, Congratulations
on your merger with Doyle. Robbie Doyle, Dave Curtis and
other guys at your firm are legends in the International 110
Class. The tape drive sails you developed for the Class are
unbeatable. Thanks for everything you've done for the Class,
and have a great Fall season! John L. Huff Al, My
name is Darryll Headley, I'm a customer of Andy's and have purchased 3 sails from your loft through
him. Andy has given me tremendous service. This
year my boat won the Lorain Sailing and Yacht Club JAM spring and
summer series. In the summer series our throw out was a 1st. In
the fall we moved up to PHRF by rigging the boat quickly and
borrowing spinnakers from Brian Huntley and Chris Merkle. Anyway
we won the PHRF fall series and then won the sail off for the
club's PHRF boat of the year with the help of the above people and
getting my new Doyle Tape Drive in about 2 weeks. I see this
relationship continuing. Thanks again to Andy and your loft Sincerely, Darryll Headley, Tartan 28
