Second Hand Sails in Australia

I have had a call requesting the following;

"We have a Roberts 37, with a furler for 8mm bolt rope.
We are looking for a sail that has a 7oz weight that can be rolled, furled with a Leach of 11.6m; Luff 12.9m; Foot 6m
Of course the Leach is negotiable but we cannot go anymore on the Luff."

I have a few sails around but not one to match. I can't seem to find a second hand sail dealer. I thought it would be easy! Anyone know the place? Get in touch and I'll pass the word.. tcp@matilda.net.au

If looking outside Australia, you might try Minney's

There's one in Melbourne, www.yachtequipment.com.au
Otherwise I would be making a call to Doyles and Norths as they often have a list of what is around there dealers. We have a second hand sail loft in Auckland, but I can't find the contact details yet. Let me know if you are interested in something this far away, and I will try harder for you.

You could try talking to some sailmakers.
Many would have used sails or clients who have just replaced a sail.

Greetings all...

Wheeler... they had checked with "Yachtequipment" in Melbourne with no lucK. The next step then, is to have them start ringing sail makers one at a time. Thanks Chris

I took on the job because I was surprised that none could be found right away... whats this country coming to!!!! no second hand sail dealer... shock horror!

Shipping from the US will be prohibitive I think but thanks for the thought Jeff, but maybe NZ.. I'll let em know and get back to you Wheeler.

Sounds like a business opportunity.

I'm up to page 16 of the new edition and can't fit everything in... may have to go to our first 28 pager... oh well, back to work.
Cheers
