Anyone found a good tanbark sailcloth/manufacturer for their Suncat?  My rigging needs a bit of upgrading, but when I'm done, the blown-out sail will need to be permanently doused.

Where can I find the pertinent measurements for the Suncat sail?

I found Super Sailmakers mentioned by several members when searching the forum for my new sail last fall. I almost purchased from them last fall but found the Com-Pac logo on the sail had to be added separately, no big deal, but I ended up just buying direct from Com-Pac Yachts / Hutchins Co. I would be cautious of just getting the sail measurements and having anyone make it, Cat sails are less forgiving then sloop sails and need the cut to be as the original manufacture intended, several members mentioned having to have mods done after delivery from generic sailmakers.

Super Sailmakers was a Com-Pac supplier at one point so they have all the correct measurements I believe and they list a Tanbark model as you want:
