Gotta love competition. Dieball Sails is offering Special Pricing, too. You can grab a 20% discount starting immediately. This special runs through December 10, 2013. They tell me, "There are no hoops to jump through or minimums to activate this special pricing."
The sails can be found here: http://dieballstore.com/
Brian Hayes from North Sails has arranged a 20% OFF deal if we can get together a fleet sails order by November 30 (Saturday). He's counting Wilmington and Charleston as the same fleet. He already sold enough sails at the Wild Oyster that he only needs 7 more orders to get the 20% discount. If you're interetsed please file out the North Sails One Design Order Form – lightning (click link to download form) and talk to Brian. I believe he needs both the order form and payment by Saturday.
