What to do with old sails

[Thamesbank]

This Genoa has found a new use as a sun shade.
Seems good at catching the rain as well.
Anyone need loads of water?

I did the same thing a few weeks ago for my son's wedding, there was a short space between the entrance to the marquees and the house, so I rigged an old genoa, every time it rained all the smokers gathered underneath, it certainly proved worthwhile.

Old spinnaker (ripped during racing) was salvaged from a skip - half to me and half to my parents. So far its made:

* Sun cover for cockpit
* 2 x Windscoops

Plus, a snuffer for the cruising chute is in progress as we speak!

My old No2 genoa has made a great box trailer cover. And the chassis of the trailer is the bottom half of my Solo dinghy combi! [image]http://s144.photobucket.com/albums/r189/geoffatstanpit/?action=view&current=boxtrail.jpg[/image]
