Topic : second hand sails to suit 1084 - RETRO

Hello

I am hoping you can help me or at least point me in the direction of somebody who can!!

I am sailing my boat down in Falmouth and am very keen to find a good suit of secondhand sails

My sails are the original sails from 1962 and it has become quite apparent that I can't carry on in this direction!

I have been advised by various friends that I would be able to get hold of sails fairly easily for not too much money!

details -

Keel stepped mast as discussed

Length of mast measures 7100 mm

Luff 5950mm although goose neck slot in mast starts at 5600 mm

If someone can help that would be most appreciated

Hope You hear from you soon

Tel 07779 588918

Phill, if you search on e-bay there are some sails on there for an older boat, they seemed quite cheap at the time.

What you really need are the measurements between black bands on your boom and mast...then compare those to the sails available.

The sail I saw on eBay had no. 1047 on it. I owned that boat way back in the early 60s. There's a photo of her in the vintage pics.
