Mirror Sails

Post by Dictate »

I have for some time been on the lookout for a set of Mirror sails in reasonable condition for local cruising/relaxation.
There appears to be a dearth of examples that fall between the "suitable for racing" and the "old but undamaged" or even the "still usable" (but for what?).
Is there, in someones loft or storeroom, a half-decent set with a modicum of crispness left about them that have been forgotten or put aside following an upgrade?
If you think that you can help, and have no ambitions to becoming an overnight millionaire,
I would be more than happy to pay a fair price.

Sadly, all my spares fall into the dishcloth catagory, and even the decent set are going that way.

I did indeed Garry; but "collection only" would entail a 300 mile round trip and a fair old fuel bill!
Thanks for the tip though; much appreciated.

It's always worth asking if they would let you arrange a courier to collect. Done this loads of times, using http://www.parcel2go.com/ or similar as most people are happy to parcel their stuff up.

But it does depend on either someone being there when the courier calls or for them to have a business location where there's someone to hand the stuff over.

I have set of mirror sails (main and jib) in decent condition, but not including battens....., the mainsail has never had a number on it, so you can put your own number on, and I can post them,...... total cost with postage will be £40 which can be paid by paypal. I can post pics if needed. If interested please PM me.

saw this too late I think, but there is a set here at Hunts you could have. We're possibly near enough for you to collect if you do want them.
