Default NEW Sails!!!


Go ahead; I've got a good grip on my chair. Firer Away with another
dumb
rebuttal. I'm ready:^)


The 35s5 sails were said to be in great shape....but here's what I
found during the full survey. The mylar main was badly stained with
mildew. An effort was made to wash it...a no-no, and it suffered even
more. The owner said I'd get a season out of it and he was right. The
110% was in the same kind of shape, more ugly than worn, but now has
some delamination. The 155 is in good shape, but FAR too much sail for
the boat. I'll probably sell it off at some point. The chute is
practically new. The heavier storm sail is unused. So in short it was a
mixed bag. I paid less for the boat after the sails were surveyed.
I've bought very nice sails to replace these and I'm excited to get
them up!

I've e-mailed you the deal I got....
