A friend of mine is picking up a sailboat for $1500. It's a MacGregor 22, in pretty good shape with the exception of some hull damage from being bashed against a dock in a storm last year. Anyway, the boat is missing its mainsail.
Where he's trying to do this on the cheap, I thought I'd try to scope out some good used sails. A couple years ago, I was able to find sails for my Chrysler 22 on ebay for under $300... there seemed to be tons of sails back then. Now it seems to be really slim pickings.
I checked
www.thesailwarehouse.com and they only had new... they used to carry a lot of used stuff too.
You'd think there's be TONS of sails being salvaged from boats after Katrina, or does it take a long time for them to pass through the insurance & salvage companies?
