Re: J/36 Main Sail Used Cheap

I have a good condition main for a Morgan 44. P 46.5, E 14.25 v. P 47 and E of 15 for the J36.
Sail is in good shape, four battens (short).
Would let it go for $250 plus postage (Pensacola, FL). If interested let me know and I will measure and send sail dimensions and pictures.

Heavy dacron - my guess 8 oz - but just a guess.

Re: J/36 Main Sail Used Cheap

Perhaps this is silly, but have you checked the used sail vendors like Bacon in Annapolis or Minneys in LA? They have huge inventories, conservative quality ratings and a very good reputation for honest representation. Mucking about with individual sellers could come up lucky... or not.

I second the suggestion of Bacon's in Annapolis for previously owned sails. Many are from racers after just one season with loads of cruising life left. Very reputable. JMHO

One more vote for Bacon's. Good people over there. Large inventory.
