They have a #5 Luff Tape which fits a Schaefer SnapFurl, TuffLuff and others.Hey Windy,
Are they cut for a roller furler?
Sorry I needed to update my Avatar and have. I'm a Capri 22 owner now.First, your target market is for Catalina 30's (I am assuming you're set-up roller furling). You need to go to those boats first. Then you might find out what other boats have the same effective measurements. That's your secondary market.
It's not a. Huge market, but
Your question probably nailed the likely reasons. (BTW Dacron is plastic, too).I've been trying to sell a couple Fantastic Condition Dacron Head Sails for awhile with zero interest. Is everyone only looking for plastic sails now or are they afraid of what's wrong with practically new sails at half price? I'm serious. What's the deal?
Indeed, dacron is polyester fibers woven into cloth, mylar is extruded polyester into film.(BTW Dacron is plastic, too).
Thanks delling ,your comments are very helpful. Painful, but make absolute sense. I'll go for a Plan B.Well, assuming you are talking Capri 22 sails, may I ask what price you are looking to get for your sails? In my experience, used sails, regardless of age, rarely fetch more than 40% of the cost of new. I know that's not a "fair" price for a sail that's been used 3 times, but you also must take into account that when it comes to used sails, your definition of "practically new" and someone else's may be far different.
Serious racers are likely looking for mylar tri-radials or even string sails and aren't interested in Dacron. If you have a Dacron headsail from a premium loft (i.e. Ullman) you might have $1200 in a Dacron sail. When you look at what some of the off-shore suppliers (like Precision or FX Sails) will likely sell you one for $800. Suddenly, $600 doesn't look like a real bargain for a used sail. You must take this into account.
You may find a wider audience for your sails on eBay. I have had great luck selling sails there. I am often surprised by how much sails go for in an auction. Good luck selling!
