I am not a sailor, but I am interested in buying old sails that can't be used for sailing anymore. Any suggestions on where to look? How much would I expect to pay? Thanks in advance!

If you just want the sails for the material, contact some sailing clubs that have a racing program. Many will give away the used sails when they're no longer suitable for use as sails.

Craigslist is a good avenue for finding old sails... if you want the material for crafts perhaps place an ad there that you will pay for shipping - people are always looking for ways to dispose of old sails (free) other than the landfill.

Sails are heavy, though, and shipping costs might get out of hand.

I've got two or three, with a total area of 700 sq. ft.

I am in Seattle.

I would want nothing but shipping costs, if this is for a good cause.

May I ask what you want them for?
