air force sails

I''m sure someone out there has had experience with airforce sails. I''m considering the purchase of a 155% genoa ( furling) and am curious about quality, customer service etc. Comparing them to North specifically which has a loft in my home port of Oxford, certainly convenient and always super efficient for repairs and cleaning in the past (and not that much more expensive). Thanks in advance.

not much more expensive ? Are you sure ?

I had good results with Airforce sails on my smaller boat. The new main was exceptional ....

on my newer ( used ) boat I got a whole slew of North Sails . which I also like .

What I probably like to say is this. if the difference is really small go with North otherwise Airforce is great

( at the time my main was about 1/2 the price of North, and that was a no brainer )
