For Sale: Serious cruising sails

[schoonerlad]

We've converted rigs and these sails, from the former gaff schooner rig are for sale. Made by Dave Bierig. Nine ounce Contender, triple stitched and heavily reinforced. The gaff foresail and forestaysail have battened leeches. They have have done a number of long passages but otherwise have been kept scrupulously covered. They are in very good condition aside from a bit of minor staining and have many, many more miles and years in them. None of these sails has ever required a repair, not so much as a single stitch.

Gaff foresail (or main on smaller boat): luff 21’3”, leech 26’4”, head 10’2”, foot 10’8”, area 223 sq. ft., sewn reef points at 5’0” and 10’0”. US$400 Can$545.

Forestaysail: luff 24’4”, leech 21’9”, foot 8’4”, area 91 sq. ft., sewn reef points at 4’0”, jackline. US$200 Can$275.

Yankee jib: luff 30’7”, leech 27’8”, foot 11’11”, area 138 sq. ft. US$300 Can$410.

The sails may be seen in Kemptville, Ontario, Canada.
