    What to do with used sails?

    My parents have a huge pile of used sails from the family weeknight race boat, a Catalina 27 (normal rig). By huge, I mean they take up a quarter of the garage.

    Wind ranges for each sail on an Oday 25.

    Relatively new to sailing. I have an Oday 25. Does anyone know the wind speed ranges for the Main, Jib, Genoa and Spinnaker? Or is this something I should be calling a sail maker to ask about?
