Bacon ain''t got what I need, and my budget is starting to kill me. I need a spare main, 2 reefs, 14'' foot, 33'' luff. Any ideas??

Go to the classifieds here at Sailnet. I have a main for sale that just might be perfect for your vessel.

Surf the net for used sail brokers. I bought a used spinnaker for occasional use from SAIL SWAP TEXAS. I don''t know if they are still around. The transaction was very smooth and the sail was in the condition it was advertised as being. Another site was ATLANTIC SAIL TRADERS.

Keep in mind that these sails are not new but the prices are reasonable. My cost on a spinnaker for a 23 foot boat (occasional use) was $250 CDN rather than the $1800 I was quoted from North Sails Atlantic. That price included all shipping, customs and exchange rate as well as the sail. The transaction renewed my faith in the honesty and integrity of mankind.
