Re: Parasailor

Should have made it clear I was looking for a used parasailor.

Thanks

Re: Parasailor

Have you tried the usual used sail brokers? I know of several in FL and several more around the east coast, but maybe that's not in your area. Are you in the USA? East coast or west coast?

Re: Parasailor

Currently in Cartagena. I haven' tried any brokers. Will be back on east coast next month. Do you have any recommendations for good brokers?

Re: Parasailor

I have shopped a lot of their websites but been many years since I actually dealt with anyone. Got married, got a job, sold the boats and stayed dry for 30 years. Now getting ready to get wet again but due to the extended absence a lot of my information may be out of date.

So here are links to three of the larger, better known companies. Cannot give personal recommendations on recent quality or service from any but have heard favorable comments from other sailors.

Atlantic Sail Traders - Used sails, New sails, Sail Broker

Bacon Sails & Marine Supplies

Used Sails from Second Wind Sails

I Don't have anything to do with them other then being a satisfied customer !
