Sails for Cape Dory 28 Sloop - New Prices

[kerrydeare]

Two jibs for sale. Each sail is essentially as new. I know for sure that the storm jib came out of the bag only once to test the fit. The "spitfire" (about half way between the club jib and the storm jib, and usually called a "Number 5") was set once while crossing the Chesapeake into Norfolk.

Storm Jib by Ulmer Sails (1981). This is a heavy hank-on sail that appears new. Complete with one-piece sheets, bag, pendant, etc. Despite the age, it seems that Dacron cloth and stitching and bronze hanks don't seem to get old while living in a sail bag. Price: $350.00 (formerly 400.00)

Spitfire (#5) by Moorhouse Sails (2011). Another heavy weight hank-on sail with custom features. Skip Moorhouse was a highly respected local sailmaker to both the racing and cruising community. Complete with one-piece sheets, bag, pendant, etc. $400.00 (formerly $450.00).

I prefer not to ship these sails (located in central New Jersey) because packing and shipping fees will probably be outlandish. However for an interested buyer I will try to accommodate delivery as much as possible. I have sold other sails and gear on this board to very satisfied buyers. Also for interested buyers, Bacon is listing each of these sails (or similar) for between $750 and $850, but they are not nearly this quality. I know this is the case.

Combined new lower price: $800.00 for both.

I am not sure what this means (nor why you would comment if not interested), but if you have interest in the items which are frankly quite nice, just let me know and we can talk. I have sold a number of items here without regret on either side. I have always thought any deal must benefit both partners.

Regards,

Armond

Wow! so sorry I took an interest. I was just commenting on your comment below. I thought someone may want to know that shipping may not be "outlandish" unless it was one coast to the other. I apologize for giving any comment. I must remember our geographical differences when I reply.

Your apology is not required as you have no way of knowing that a potential purchaser a few months ago was very close to closing on this sale until he started looking at the shipping fees involved. This is what sometimes happens to new arrivals such as yourself upon joining a group of curmudgeons such as we are (or at least I am).

For your further consideration, please note that I have a few anchors for sale in the 70+ pound range that also face similar challenges. Any interest? In any case I won't be retiring on the proceeds of this deal. I retired in early 1990.
