Looking for used or old sailcloth

[lizziebird]

Hi all, I'm looking for used/old sailcloth that no one wants anymore. I'm making a messenger bag for my little brother.
Anyone have any that they'd like to get rid of? Or know someone that does?
Thanks!

Try checking any marine consignment stores - they usually have old sails there too, and will likely have been there a while - should go cheap.

But most of us have old sails laying around so maybe you'll get lucky here.

You could also check with local sail clubs that have a racing program...as many will retire the sails after a certain amount of wear and tear have set in...

Post a note at a marina or yacht club. Many old sails are thrown away.
