Tristan,

I have some sails on consignment at Bacon's in Annapolis for my old 8.3. Several of them were new so they should work for you. I was about to pull them back and see about selling them on ebay or craigslist because they had been there for a while. If you are still looking, let me know. Jib and a couple of Genoas.

The boat is great. Mine got crunched a few years back during Ernesto when my neighbors boat broke loose and smashed my hull for 8 straight hours....

Keep your eye on your portlights if they are original. Take the time to remove the teak plywood from the inside and examine it for rot. If they were leaking and the wood is starting to rot from the back side, you can use CPES epoxy to stabilize it and not ruin the teak side. Other than that leak, it has been a great boat. The 8.7 is as well.

Good luck!
