<p>Friendshipsloop,</p>
<p>I think you are mistaken regarding UK VAT. VAT is only payable for goods delivered inside the EU, if Jeckells had shipped the sails direct to you outside the UK then no UK VAT is payable and you should not be charged VAT by the seller. It is also possible to reclaim any VAT direct from the seller if you can prove they were exported and an export certificate is obtained from the shipping company. Of course the shipping may be more expensive than the VAT!</p>

<p>I believe it is also possible for non UK /EU residents to reclaim the VAT at the airport.</p>

<p>I just ordered a set of sails from Jeckells myself. I had them sent to a friend in London who kindly hand-carried it to me here in Connecticut. You definitely have to pay the UK VAT whether the sail is delivered in the UK or overseas... Not sure if the US Customs folks will apply an import tax or not.

I would give a word of caution for Jeckells as well, I think they are quite expensive and they do not hold their delivery times at all and then they tend to to forget something...<br />
<br />
Is there anything better? Good question, it will depend on the sail plan, if you need Tiki type sails and have sample maybe you can find a sailmaker who can copy them locally.

I didn't dare to speak about Lee Sails, in Hong Kong, (China, quality, reputation...) but I can now second Waka, since he has open the box. If they are not the best for competion, racing or regatta sails, they make very good cruising sails, and their price is far lower than the one in France, and I believe, Europe. It woth to contact them for a quote, I think.<br />

<p>i have some frind they ordered new (standart) sails in captown last december. the went all over the palce to find the right sail maker. the sails they goot where on fitting, had to be changed 2 times and in the end the paied 30% less and use this "lala" sail.</p>
<p>after spamding 10 month in south africa, i have to say that you should be very careful with this contry. the quality standarts are really not like in the US or europa.</p>

<p> we got our first sail from Doyle sails in New zealand... they last only 4 years and the material was gone. the new sails we have now are from Lee sails. i made the messurment and send it to them. 4 weeks later, a perfect sails , made in a very good quality, was send back to Langkawie (amlaysia) where we have been in this time.</p>
<p>communication and service was great. they know how to deal with customs etc. allo cool. would do this anytime angain... the price of the sail was 30% less then i paid in NZ 4 years before.</p>
<p>i posted here somewhere a blog about this deal with lee sail..</p>
