I agree with others. Replace the plumbing. Saltwater critters grow in the plumbing. In the future frequently flush fresh water through and it should keep the funk at bay.

The jib, genoa and drifter are OK but need to be repaired (small tear), restitched and cleaned (which I'll do).

The cloth of the main is just...

Mercator
