While you guys are purchasing Christmas gift cards at "Victoria's Secret" and hoisting a few Egg Nogs at office parties, the crew at Minneys have been working their butts off unloading truck loads of sails. Pictured is a pile of gently used sails that one of the nation's top sail makers sold us today. By purchasing sails in large lots we are able to buy sails at rock bottom prices, and in turn re-sell them at extremely modest prices. Storage of thousands of sails is always a problem. This particular load is stored in what I call "the hobby shop", the oldest boat building shop still standing in Newport Beach. We still use the shop for all our boat re-fitting projects and at the moment it's a handy place to keep 120 bags of sails. Remember, all sails are sold on your approval (except fair and poor sails that state right on the ticket N.R. for NO RETURN) and may be returned for a full refund if you feel it is unsuitable. It's hard work, "KEEPING BOATING AFFORDABLE". Your continued support of our little store and continued remarks of appreciation, makes it all worth while.........

TONS OF GOOD USED SAILS!!!

NEW SAIL LIST NOW ON-LINE!! SAVE $$$'S
It's taken a lot of work. Check it out, our sail list has been up-dated and approximately 400 sails have been added to the list. Great spinnakers, some with socks. A great group of head sails, quite a few storm jibs, many like new. Good selection of mainsails, some storm tri'sails, even a few tan bark in colored sails. Lots of our NO RETURN sails priced under $200.00. These sails have bad stains, worn leeches, sun burned covers, and other defects. With some repairs or re-cutting you can probably end up with a suitable sail on the cheap. Pictured is some of the work we go through as we process your used sails. Many of the sails come in damp and must be dried before we measure and assign a bin to store them in. And of course, no sail is priced over $1500.00 and may be returned for any reason. Happy Halloween....... Ernie and crew...
