THIS IS SOLD!!!

This sail came with my boat. The PO had damaged the head foil for the Capri sails, with luff tape, and bought this hank on sail to use. We used it last fall when we first got the boat, but have since put a new head foil on and gone back to the Capri sails. It is in good shape with just a few very small soil marks from being flaked on the dock. It is made by Smith Sails Portland Oregon.

The bag is marked Catalina 25 #2. The foot is about 14'3" (135%?). It is made to fly on a pendant(which I will include) so it is not a deck sweeper which is nice because you can see under the sail. The luff is about 25'6" and the leach is about 26'6". It has two black draft stripes and three sets of telltales on the luff.

It has a set of reef points about 3' up from the tack and the clew with another tack and clew and reef tie points across the sail. That shortens the foot down to about 12' (110%?) and the hoist by 3'. I never reefed it. It doesn't seem very practical to me to reef a head sail since that leaves the bottom clew flopping around in the wind. You can't roll it up because that would make it too stiff and it would be sticking out past the new clew. It might get you back to the dock though.

The only defect is that the little cleat for the leach line is missing. I just tie the leach line off at the reefing clew if I want to tighten it.

I would like to get about $350.00 for it, but if that is too much I am open to offers. I will post it here for a couple weeks and if it doesn't sell I will put it on ebay.

Dan,

Do you have any idea how old it is? Is it still crisp?

I don't know how old it is. Not new but I don't think it has had a lot of use. The PO didn't end up sailing much and he had the boat since 92. It is still prettty white and crisp. maybe 6 or 7 on a scale of 10? I thought it was a very nice sail, but not quite cut right for the sheeting on a Capri 25. I would be willing to offer a money back guarantee if someone wants to buy it, try it and if you don't like the fit send it back and I'll refund your money and all you would be out is the shipping.

do you have a picture of the pendant?

BTW, I just sent a 150Genoa in to North Sails to have the plastic cleat on the leech line replaced, the said the part cost $3 and would be about $40 labour in, to replace it.
