Racing mainsail and genoa.

[madmax]

I purchased a Catalina 320 last June, and it came with a three-year-old Ullman FiberPath Plus Grand Prix mainsail and genoa. I have a receipt from the previous owner showing that he paid $6,400 for the mainsail alone (I can't find a receipt for the genoa).

I've tried sailing with these carbon sails, but I don't like them because they are way too large and difficult to "fold" when the mainsail is down on the boom. Also, I don't race.

How can I sell them to the right people who might be interested?

The right price is the one you can find someone willing to pay. Try your number or best offer. If a lot of interest you know, the number was too low. Anyone interested in those sails will know the value and will assess the quality when they inspect them. You might contact Ullman and ask their opinion, before you post your for sale ad message. I would make sure of the sail dimensions and include them in the ad. They may work on another boat as well as yours.

One option is to post the sails in the Classifieds here on SBO.

Posting a for sale item is not permitted, the post will be deleted and the poster runs the risk of being suspended.

I'd try shopping them around local racing clubs and organizations.

post your for sale ad message.

Oh no the admin has seen the words and warnings are announced.

Of course as a new member, since 2024, you have read the SBO rules. You know you can post a “for sale” item in the classifieds or on Microsoft Marketplace. Maybe produce a Facebook page or reach out to a local club and present them with a bulletin board post. Perhaps useful would be a ChatGPT ad script helping you to market the sails.

Just heed the warnings and follow the rules.
