Do you have dimensions for the cushions? Very interested if they'd fit in my boat, and I'm also in Vermont. Looking to replace the cushions on my 1981 Seafarer 26.
Barrie,
Used sails are not so easy to price, especially sails with rips in them. That said the pics of the main sail look pretty good. Does the main sail have standard battens or full battens, how many reef points, weight of sail cloth, Cunningham cringle?
A good new main sail for a 28' boat would cost ~ $2K, a new jib ~ $1.5K. If you want to see how used sails for a 28' O'Day are priced check out Bacon's web page and look up the O 28. You will likely see prices from $300 - $1000+ per sail: Bacon Sails & Marine Supplies
If you want to sell them quick you should not be asking top dollar. Offer the set of sails to Denise for $1K or less.
The cushions will not be a perfect fit except in another O 28 most likely. They look to be in pretty good shape though. I'd offer them for a couple hundred and hope for the best.
Thirty year old cushions and sails? No offense but, free is a good starting point. You could go as far as “best offer”. I doubt that they are worth more than that. Most people are looking for something better than what they already got when thinking about replacing. Speaking of which, anybody want a ten year old dodger (you supply the frame), sail and wheel cover that fits a Catalina 34? You pay the shipping!
A good way to discover the price is to auction them on eBay Motors in the Sailing Hardware section. Set a reserve price or minimum bid if you are not willing to sell the for less than a certain amount.
do you still have the cushions available>?i see this is an old post and not expecting a yes answer but worth trying....looking for cushions for my O28.
let me know
