I've bought headsails from Minney's, Bacon's and Masthead - hoping to learn what the perfect headsail was - and then order something new. The big deals with used sails are the price and "the rating". One man's fair-good is another's B+, is another's B-. Bacon's (Mrs. Bacon, RIP) negotiated -~%20% on my first purchase (a heavy mylar, yankee-cut 145 - sucked) but her successor wouldn't budge later on a 145 NorLam (mildewed). Neither Minney's nor Masthead would dicker. My current headsail (~125) was acquired locally (super-cheap and crinkly). I'll probably stay with it as it's well shaped, easy to tack, and eventual cruising has become more appealing than racing. Bob M Ox 33-1 Jax, FL
