I do not own a gun sail currently, but I won a 4.7 gun wave sail some years ago before I went to CapeTown for a year of studies at UCT. I really loved it - very light and a good handling. And despite serious sessions in the washing machine, it never caused any problem.

Maybe not same prestige as NP, etc. but good sails for a reasonable price (I would prefer a Gun with a good mast compared to a more expensive sail with a 30% mast)

Cheers

Have you looked at 5 Oceans down in Cornwall? Heard rave reviews about their feel, weight and durability. Not sure about the price though.

Vandal are pretty cheap too, but then I've heard the build quality is not all that.]]> jenksruss GENERAL DISCUSSION Mon, 04 Jul 2011 17:30:34 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6753#msg-6753 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6753#msg-6753 Pabl0 GENERAL DISCUSSION Mon, 04 Jul 2011 15:34:38 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6751#msg-6751 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6751#msg-6751 Surfing with a Sail GENERAL DISCUSSION Mon, 04 Jul 2011 10:54:12 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6749#msg-6749 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6749#msg-6749
Of course it's a personal choice and you've opened up Pandora's Box with that question, especially when someone mentions Tushingham on this forum, but that's been my experience with a current brand.

As for GUN I think they can be likened to Skoda, where they suffered from horrendous build quality years ago (IMO) and they've never shaken that reputation since. Depending on where you live you could always ping a sponsored rider and see if you could demo a sail...especially if you're going to buy a whole quiver.

How about trying OTC in either Weymouth or Tenerife, if they do GUN that is?]]> jenksruss GENERAL DISCUSSION Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:57:13 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6745#msg-6745 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6745#msg-6745 I bought some Tushingham sails which I like feel wise but after buying Gaastra, North and Ezzy I realise were a step down in build quality, however, more recent purchasers tell me Tush have improved so maybe Gun too, buth worth questioning.]]> maker96 GENERAL DISCUSSION Sun, 03 Jul 2011 08:13:49 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6744#msg-6744 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6744,6744#msg-6744 looking at buying a set of sails and was looking at gun sails, for some reason they are so much cheaper than any other makes....
