You would be better off trashing the sail and buying a new one.


Probably. But then I wouldn't be able to tell people, "original sails".
A boat with original sails is kewler don't you think?

No. A boat with NEW sails is more desirable.

Hope this helps

Yeah right! Then people would say. "Look at that stupid bitch. She spent
two thousand dollars on sails for a 300 dollar boat." Duh!

2K for a boat that size? You really don't know how to shop.

Funny, I got new sails for my Albacore and the P.O. bought new sails for
our yacht a few months before we bought it. Both boats are *far* older
than the boat you showed us pictures of. No-one is laughing at us and
most fellow skippers are quite envious.

Well, bully for you. But *I* think it's ignorant to spend that kind of money
on a boat that's not worth near that. What if I want to sell it? I can't even get
the price of the sails out of it. Duh! That would be like Katy spending thousands
on a boob job. Don't throw good money after bad is what Daddy taught me.
The previous owner of your yacht was stupid. He spent thousands of dollars
and he got no return on it. You benefited. He didn't. He just cut into his profit.
Elle Niño's just for fun. Not for racing. Not for trying to impress somebody.
You men are all alike. Some of you have tiny packages. Some of you substitute a
boat for it.... Or a car, or a motorcycle, or a truck.

As opposed to, ''Look at that stupid bitch with the nice
knockers'' ?

She does have nice knockers.

No. It detracts from the 120 dollars the boat and sails are worth.

You can make enough in one night too buy new sails ....
