Title: Old (very old) sails
Post by: GarryR on 13 May 2009, 02:51
I have a vintage Merlin (1951 ribbed boat) and wondered if anyone out there would have a suit of very old sails going beging that I could use on very windy days rather than risk capsize with my full size sets.  There is a picture of Hallowe'en a Rocket design in Robin Stevenson's book "When Dinghies Delight" flying along in a high wind with a set of Nat 12 sails rigged and thought that this would be just the job.  Postage would be reimbursed so if anyone has a suit lying around in a "just useable and no more condition" please leave a message here.  Thanks to all in advance.
