hey Gestalt, can you let me know where to pick up sails in that price range new off the shelf? The best I can see in my neck of the woods for a 5-6m 07' sail is $600 07'. $300 would be way better.
Hi Timford. no worries. but you did say under $1000 for 2 sails that are 1-2 years old new. so that means anything from 06 onwards. 09 is not out yet.
so that equate to less than $500 for each sail new. ofcourse you can get new 06 sails for around $400 so you should be ok.

now, i am certain that the majority of the shops do similar deals. even though some of them don't advertise their prices on the net (particularly the WA shops but also some of the east coast shops). you should phone them.
for an almost complete list of shops online refer to this list.
www.windwanderers.com/Links.htmlas you can see though it is very possible. so time to get out the credit card.
i checked them out at a demo day i organised on the sunny coast. nice kit.
