I understand that North is the main supplier of laser sails, but why doesn't Ullman Skelley produce laser sails. We switched from North's to Ullman Skelleys on the j105 we sail on and everyone does agree that US's are better. Most of the 105's and 24's in our fleet use US's.
Because Laser has a contract with North and Hyde. I'm sure if you went to your local Ullman loft, they could make you a laser sail if you threw enough money at em, but it would not be class legal
If there were more choice in the sail manufacturers then I suspect you would just end up changing your complaint to: "I wish I could afford the sails that Ainslie/Scheidt/Slingsby use."

I love my $2000, custom cut Quantum Cuben Fiber Laser sail. It is much faster than a class legal sail, and lasts longer too. They will even put sail numbers on for free if you order more than one sail!
