Re: North Dacron Genoa luff 53'

The North Genoa was purchased by the original owner of Sirocco prior to 2007when we purchased her. We used the sail to go,to Mexico for 8 months in 2011. Since that time the sail has been stored in a bag in my garage. We participate in club racing and have other night tech sails for that purpose.

We found the foam luff to be a nice feature to shorten the head sail if the wind picks up. We could reef it to about a 90% jib. So the wind range of the sail is zero to 30 kn.

I put a short pennant on the tack so the foot is always above the lifelines to eliminate chafing. I recently spent about $600 to upgrade the sail with a new uv cover because the Mexico sun compromised the cover. Overall, it is a $4,000 sail new and is in good condition. Hope this helps.

Re: North Dacron Genoa luff 53'

you mention 53 ft luff … with tack pennant?

any sail numbers on it? what kind of boat was it use on? you said it was purchased "prior to 2007" … any idea of (real) age of sail? finally, I'm on East coast so shipping would be required. any idea of sail weight?

thanks.

Re: North Dacron Genoa luff 53'

Looks like it would need a slight re-cut to fit out C&C 34+ I am interested, we usually get our new sails and repairs from North Sails out your way. Perhaps shipping could be arranged through North to their Vancouver outlet where they would do the needed work.

I am not sure of the headstay length of the C&C 34+. Undoubtedly a few feet of the sail would need to be cut. Thanks

Re: North Dacron Genoa luff 53'

would you be willing to drop the sail off at the local North loft in San Diego? I am just awaiting confirmation from the Vancouver Loft that they can re-cut it for a reasonable cost.
