Thanks Chuck. If anyone is interested I am trying to get rid of 2 of the headsails of the 5 that I got with the purchase of our '81 34. I recently took them all to Bacons Sails in annapolis to help me sort out what I should keep and what I should consign or trash. These are the 2 that they said they could try to consign if I chose to do so.
The first is a Mylar Racing #1 (~150% for an I of 14'). Very good condition. There is a little bit of moisture starting in some of the stitching and Bacons suggested that I try to get it cleaned and sealed if I were to keep it. I really liked this sail but it's a bit too large for the roller furling I have on board. I don't want to have to hank on a sail this large every time we go out either. Measurements: 43' 8" x 42' x 22' 4" 3/16" luff tape Bacons said they would probably consign it at ~950-1000. I also have a lightweight Genoa (~140% for an I of 14') that has writings on it suggesting it was new in '79. Bacons said it was approximately 4oz Dacron. Measurements: 43' 11"x 40' 4" x 22' 3/16" luff tape. No suncover. some stains, but still in decent shape. Bacons would consign for ~400-600. Like mentioned above, both have a 3/16" luff tape so they will work with a roller furling foil. However, they were too long to actually be used with mine, which is why I am parting ways with them. The previous owner definitely raced the boat before he got health issues. I could not tell you usage stats for either since I haven't really used them extensively. I did use the Mylar one a few times and I would keep it if I could, but I'd rather something that fits better that I can leave on all the time. Price wise, I'm up for offers. I did mention what Bacons would probably sell it for as a starting range. I don't mind passing on a deal, but please keep in mind, I'm also trying to offset the costs of a semi-new/new sail myself. Thanks everyone for your help! I'll definitely be looking to some of the donation options you all mentioned for the other ones.
