Used Sails

Has anyone from Canada purchased used sails from Bacon Sails? If so were you happy with how it went?

Well, I'm a Canadian living in Annapolis. Does that count? I've been to Bacon many times and have found them honest, easy to work with and offer a fair price. We'll be buying some used sails from them within the next 6 months.

I have not purchased from them but have visited the store and used to know an employee and had a tour.
As you may know, many of their sails are on consignment, and I believe they do a careful job of assessing the sails and describing their condition. They also carry new cruising sails.

I got a main from them. Very happy with how it was described and service. In fact it was better than they described to me! I'd trust them again for a future purchase.

Re: Used Sails

Thankyou for the replies, I have emailed them and checked into shipping. I believe I will be purchasing a main from them and having it shipped to Victoria.
