SAILS FOR ALL REASONS???



I'm quite certain that we have the greatest collection of used sails in the western U.S. Usually about 1000 bags of sails are tagged, measured and ready to ship at all times. I've been sailing for over 50 years and know first hand what fantastic bargains we have. We recently sold a brand new cruising spinnaker from a 75' ketch. Owner paid $8000.00, we sold it for $1495.00. North-Sobstad-Hood-Quantum-Doyle-Pinapple, we've got them all. How can we do this? We can because pay CA$H and own every sail in the store. Most other used sail brokers sell sails that are consigned to them. We buy low and sell low and move a lot of sails. A lovely woman that makes hand bags from our sails purchases over $10,000.00 per year. We recently shipped to China just under 100 bags, a sailing club in South America purchased 40 bags of our "no return" fair and poor sails. All our sails are sold on approval (unless otherwise noted) and may be returned for ANY reason. As you know, new sail prices are getting insanely expensive. In these uncertain economic times, perhaps that new jib you need is sitting in one of our bins and priced so you won't have to mortgage your boat to pay for it?
