ahoy . i am comsidering putting another sail on my boat ,
my brother said i should try get a second hand one.
aparently i should be looking for a genica .
got a rough idea on price for a new one and ten grand is going to be a bit of a stretch
for me so any info on second hand is most welcome .
cheers

Well Stupid, I would suggest keeping an eye on eBay. I have purchased several sails off eBay and 3 sails from the secondhand sail bloke at St Ives who has an eBay shop. Qld often has people selling sails with local pickup only so you have an advantage.

Presumably your looking for a genoa for the vessel in your avatar. It would help if you mention the size and type, one of the posters here may have a sail laying about to suit.

i dont know the name of it but do know it is 21.1 at the cable 19.4 across the bottom and 20.4 up the back
was hoping to make it furling but hey i dont even know if thats possible.

I think stupid is meaning the luff of the sail when he says cable or (fore stay)
any way stupid get some big white rags on that old girl and and have a ball!!!!!

you can make it furling if your boat is fitted with a furler, or if not you can get one for about $2500
