      Try. wwwmthebinnacle.com. They are in Halifax but they have free shipping on orders over $100. Always good pricing.

      Guys, I think Tor is asking about sheets (AKA lines) not sails. My
      experience with Mack Sails was just OK, no recommendation from me.
      Best deals on lines (other than special sales) was to purchase NE rope via
      Port Supply (WM wholesale outlet). WM began business as a retailer for NE
      Ropes back in the 70s. I think NE Ropes was owned by Randy Repass’ (WM
      Founder) father-in-law. It is probably the single item with the largest
      margin in the WM catalogue and if you can buy through Port Supply it
      usually beats any other line supplier, except when they are dumping their
      inventory. If you pay the WM retail prices it is only competitive.

      Regards,

      Hi John,

      If I may ask, why no recommendation for Mack Sails? You’re the first I’ve encountered who was not completely happy with them.

      John,
      I was surprised by your statement too. Any time someone delivers on time, under budget,  with a very good product including a few little extras at no additional charge I’m happy.

      Lee

      I didn’t say there were a bad company to deal with, just average.
      My experience with them was in 2005 to fabricate the rigging for my stay
      sail, install new lifelines, and make me a stay sail with a deck bag.

      – They ignored my CAD drawing of one of the stay sail fittings and it
      had to be redone
      – The lifelines were supposed to be stainless, but were galvanized. (My
      fault for letting them talk me into vinyl coated wire). The lifelines
      broke last year from corrosion.
      – The stay sail was delivered too late to allow me to determine it was
      too large for the application. I depended on them to propose a correctly
      proportioned sail.
      – I had to delay my departure from Friday to Monday because they forgot
      about the deck bag, and then it was not made as I had specified. At least
      I did not have to pay for it.

      As I say, an average marine vendor, nothing special.
