Post by David van den Burgh »

I'm looking for old sails. They don't need to be serviceable, but they do need to be free. Please contact me via PM or EMAIL below. Thanks!

Hi David,

Sorry to say, the market for bedsheet quality sails has pretty much evaporated. The Portland sailing community filled up a 40' container with Sails for Haiti, ostensibly where they were used for temporary shelter just after the hurricane. (There but for the grace of God...)

Too many other companies will pay a few bucks for old sails, and turn them into bags and totes. www.seabags.com is a local place here, and will take your sails and return a bag as payment.
