Sailmaker recommendation in Deltaville, VA

Can anyone recommend a good sailmaker in the Deltaville, VA area? I just need some sails cleaned and repaired.

Jerry Latell is the only sailmaker in Deltaville. Fortunately he is a very good guy and reasonably priced. He built my new main and jenny and I use him for all my service. He was slightly more than one of the online sail warehouses but he did the measurements, installed the sails and when there was a minor problem with the main, he fixed it quickly. These were cruising sails, but I know that Jerry is active in the Fishing Bay Yacht Club racing fleet and has built racing sails for several of those boats. He also does a lot of classic sail work, including a bunch of work on the USCG's tall ship.
