Anyone have ideas or suggestions on what to do with old sails? Can you have it made into something or is there any used market for a 15 year old sail...Doesn't feel right to just through it away...

Old Sails

We acquired some old sails with our boat and I sew, plan to make a boom awning (with some planning) as well as a wind scoop for the hatch.

Old sails

I have two big Labrador retreivers who tore up every bed we bought or made for them. They are past the chewing age and never put a tooth to anything else, but after happily snuggling down at night, the next morning the new beds would be trashed. After last year's hurricane Ivan, my old genny was pretty tore up. I salvaged enough to make two 3 ft. sqare envelopes, stuffed them w/ old blankets, and Rambo and Barkley have not put a mark on them.

A riding sail is very easy to make and is very effective keeping the bow into the wind at anchor.

...there's a huge used market for sails.
