Default Buying Used Sails

A used sail is a BLOWN OUT SAIL!


Duh! That's a pretty dumb thing to say. Use a sail one time and it's blown out?
What if the wind was only blowing 5 or 10 miles an hour? What about a mainsail
that got replaced after two afternoons by a full batten sail? What about sails
that're on motorsailers and they get used twice a year on a light wind afternoon
just for show?
You can't go around making blanket statements like that, Tom. But your probably
just being a troll....

Cheers,
