Buyer for secondhand sails?

[Mudhook]

I seem to recall one or two traders actively touting for decent used sails. I'm replacing my roller genoa because the cut is a bit too full for my needs. Does anyone know who I might contact to sell it? It's had five years use from new and had been valeted by Jeckells every year. I'm on the east coast.

Regards, Mudhook

Sabre 27. I don't know the luff length off hand.

Take some photos of it action, Lie on the foredeck and take them looking up the rig whilst on the wind in a F3. Go and visit your local sailmaker. A recut with lots of luff hollow could solve your problems.

Though if it's cheapo dacron and it's been washed mercilessly don't expect miracles!

These all sell them so presumably they buy them too

Thanks for this. I'll look them up.

FWIW...
