Looking for old sails

I am an artist and am looking for any old sails someone might be throwing/giving away! I live in Chicago, but will be happy to pay for shipping costs. Please contact me at jesikahjoy@gmail.com if you have any information. Thank you so much!

also might try the sail brokers. You can usually find some old ones they might sell cheap.

Atlantic Sail Traders, Beacon Sails, etc........

Look for clubs with large racing fleets.. they'll be ones that go through a lot of sails fairly regularly.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
