With older stretched sails, often the halyard is topped out, and all you have left is the cunningham if you are trying flatten an older sail. If you go that route, make sure it is a reasonably powerful tackle (6:1 or more)
If you have bagged out sails, it won't take much wind before you are heeling heavily and flogging the mainsail in the backwind of an overfull genoa, especially on the headsail-heavy rig on a Yamaha 30.
I've seen some tempting prices from on-line lofts, but really you're better off to stick with top line locally represented lofts. Sails often need minor adjustments, and getting a new no-name sail altered locally might be a challenge. Also the risk of requiring alterations is much higher if the sailmaker doesn't do his/her own measurements prior to building the sail.
