Does anyone have any recommendations on purchasing new sails? I'm considering a new main and jib. I believe the sails that came with my boat are the original Clark sails.

Re: New sails
I've honestly had pretty good results with my sails from Island Planet Sails, www.islandplanetsails.com. I think I paid about 25-30% less than a comparable set from Doyle\Kerr. With my best crew we've managed to beat many Doyle\Kerr boats, and come in 3rd at one of the Seattle NOOD's. At my first ever North Americans, with last minute crew that hadn't been on a boat in over 2 years and no practice time, we came in 7th or 8th out of 15. So I think they're quite competitive.
I think they've made 3 or 4 sets for an SJ 21 now as I'm on my 2nd set. The owner Dave is a good guy and really attentive to custom needs. Feel free to email them, and let him know that Christian from Sj21Fleet1 sent ya. No kickbacks, he just knows I've been fairly particular about getting them up to speed for racing:)
