I have inherited a nearly new Gale Sail that I can't use-I don't use roller furling.
This came off a 42' Ericson sloop. I believe it's a North sail but not sure. It's in excellent shape, heavy duty. I doubt that it has been used more than a couple of times.
For sale or trade for something I can use.
If anyone is interested, PM me and we can haggle.
I'm looking for light weight drifter, genny, asymmetrical, or mizzenmast stysl or? 44'OD ketch.

Lol, no pics yet.

Geoduck · 10-07-2013, 15:04

Hopefully we have pictures?

Geoduck · 10-07-2013, 15:06

How about now?

Geoduck · 10-07-2013, 15:10

Here's another one - maybe!

Bluewaters2812 · 10-07-2013, 15:11

Ok, thanks, see them both. Looks in good condition. I don't think it has the sleeve that fits over the rolled sail though and that is what I am looking for. Pity but thanks for your quick effort. Here is a link to what I am looking for: ATN Sailing Equipment | The Gale Sail | Easy Handling Storm Jib

Yes! It has the sleeve that folds over a rolled up sail. It is the same color as the rest of the sail and is a heavier material.
When the wind quits blowing, I'll take it out of the bag and you can see the whole sail.
I'll even measure it for you!

Be patient!

get with the program 2182!!
seeing the eyes for the hanks should have piqued your interest!
this is definitly a sail you will be needing on your proposed future trip!

Geoduck · 10-07-2013, 16:43

Here we go again! Out of the bag!

Geoduck · 10-07-2013, 16:46

The luff is 31'
Foot 19'
Leach 28 1/2'

Geoduck · 10-07-2013, 16:51

This is all you get! Now I have to roll it up and stuff it back in the bag - something my deck hand usually does for me!

How about $500?

Ok, sorry for the delay in getting back to you ... I have to sleep some time

Yes, that sounds like a reasonable price and I want it thank you. Now, how do we get it to me? I am happy to pay for the shipping if you can arrange that for me? Perhaps we can Skype or correspond via email: blue waters 2812 at yahoo dot co dot uk

If you send me an email we can exchange further details etc?

Regards.

Haha, you're right, I didn't look. Been very tired lately with little sleep and of course ... being a bear with little brain

Now, once again its middle of the night and I have had my customary 2-3 hours sleep and have responded appropriately. Yes, I want it.

Oh, and by the way ... its 2812. Tsk tsk, how sloppy
