As title says I'm seriously considering a 32' C&C 1984 that is missing all sails. I can get the boat for a good price but I'm a little confused on how I can go about finding the correct size used sails. I found new sails on several sites but it's like $3k +. when I say I can get a good deal...

A set of sails for a Bluenose

Hi, sailing community! I'm developing the project that aims to upcycle used sails in local communities and international. I would be really grateful if you could help me figure out some questions! how often do you change your sail and throw/recycle/sell the previous one? is it hard to get rid...

I am a high school student in the Houston, Texas area and am looking for old or unusable sails. I plan on making the sails into shirt pockets for an online business. Any sails should work. Thank You

A laminate sail that I had cleaned by a commercial sail cleaner just shredded. My sailmaker said that it had been compromised by the process used by the commercial sail cleaner. A number of name sailmakers have since told me the same thing. "Don't allow the commercial sail cleaners to touch...

I recently purchased a colossal project of a boat from an insurance auction. Needless to say a lot of the things you hope to find in any used boat purchase aren't there. Of particular concern were the sails. Luckily I tracked down the previous owner who still has the sails and said he's willing...

I need Sail measurements for a Westerly 33 ketch. Im not going to get a chance to make the measurements myself and have not been able to find an owners manual online. Anyone have this information?

Where can i find a used headsail for my grampian 30? the measurements are: I-37'/J-10.9'/P-31'/E-12' something in good condition on the cheap

Greetings all! I am considering purchasing a Morgan 30/2, whose sails are in tawdry shape. However, I am able to get some very lightly used sails from an old Allied Chance 30/30 at very reasonable prices. The Morgan becomes less good of a deal if I immediately have to buy new sails. So my...

I have just seen a post on Facebook featuring a solar powered tent. Orange unveils solar concept tent at Glastonbury | Green Tech - CNET News I wondered how far away we are from seeing solar panel sails! I did a quick search and though the fabric is seemingly still at the R&D stage we may...

Does anyone have experience with a sailmaker called Ace Sails in Lyme, CT. Email address is [email protected] Thanks.

I'm planning on getting new sails for my 1972 Venture 21, and amongst the many things to consider are jib size. Mauri for example offers jibs in 100%, 135% and 155%. I'm leaning toward 155%, to maximizesail area, but would appreciate any insights anyone may have on that.

I bought my first real sailboat last August - a ver clean and well-maintained 1972 Venture 21. I want to buy new sails for it by springtime, but I'm unsure what's best, and would appreciate any advice I can get. We'll be sailing it in Barnagat Bay on the central New Jersey coast, and probably...

I have a 1979-vintage Pearson 26. One of the previous owners fitted a Harken roller-furling rig to the headsail, which works pretty much OK. It's getting to be time to replace the sails. A quick Web search shows that there are several places that make replacement sails for this boat. I'd be...

Hello Everyone, So i recently picked up a Hobie Holder 14 but the sails that were sold with the boat are incorrect. The jib is a roller furler with a luff wire that i can use as my forestay so that is not the issue. The issue is with the main. The sail looks brand new, but it is probably...
