Looking for a used main sail. Any suggestions?
My suggestion is you learn the vocabulary of sail measurement and rig dimensions. Many used sail traders list their inventory in this manner, rather than naming a particular boat.

Here's some help with Rig dimension:

And for sail measurement:

I bought and sold through Bacons. Also stood there as they rigged used sails and make an evaluation of the sail's condition. Good people, 10-day return policy. On line inventory.

Bacon is tops. Located in Annapolis Md on Legion Ave. You can go on line and find a sail to fit (if they have one).

Live nearby and have been to Masthead in St Petersburg. It is a fine chandlery, good people, good workmanship. Have had canvas repair done there. Haven't bought sails from them but would certainly consider them.
