Looking for Used Main Sail

[jag459]

We are looking for a good used mainsail with a 95' luff and 33' foot.

Man, that's a big one!

107' masts and 36' booms like big mains. It's for a 78' maxi.

I think you're most likely to find something (useable) by speaking with the major sail lofts, as they will know who's throwing away their last sails. There are many used-sail warehouses, but they are not likely to have anything of this size. If you're in communication with the community of persons that own/run maxi's, that's another route: when I sailed Kialoa III once, we had 'borrowed' sails from Coumontoros' Boomerang and that appeared to have been a deal worked out between friendly owners.

-or follow some retired maxi's and see if there are some spare sails on them. By this I mean, e.g., the boats that have been donated to Orange Coast College, King's Point College, the US Navy Academy, etc. -these all probably arrived with an extra set of delivery and/or old sails that the recipients might not want.

Good luck
