Subject: Sails wanted (Thanks)

You know, I think I'd really enjoy living in SF. I love that many people have a social conscience and enjoy helping others. Thanks; I know I digress. How will I use the boat? Without an active racing class of S22 here in SD I'm looking forward to family sailing on it. A little overnighting. The S22 was the first keelboat I sailed as a teenager, so besides being near bulletproof and super safe there is a certain romantic appeal, believe it or not.

:: Hello,

:: during the last nationals the top 3 boats had Pineapple
:: (Bonito, 1st), Santa Cruz sails (Meli'ki, 2nd) and UK
:: Halsey (Pariah, 3rd), so obviously they are all good and
:: fast sails. In my opinion the SC jib is nicer than the
:: Pineapple jib, as the foot of the latter is rather loose
:: when going to weather. The SC sails still look to be in
:: decent shape after 4 seasons of racing.
::
:: Used sails are quite often offered on this website, or
:: on craigslist, SF bay area. It's pretty easy to find
:: cheap & usable sails, but very hard to find good ones...
::
:: Good luck!

:: :: Hi Scot,
::
:: :: The fast boats seem to be using Pineapple or UK Halsey.
:: :: I use Pineapple myself as they are local (I have nothing
:: :: but good things to say about Pineapple Sails) but in San
:: :: Diego you may want to use Halsey if they have a local
:: :: shop. Are you going to be racing, cruising, day
:: :: sailing...?
:: ::
:: :: :: Okay, since I'm not gettin' a lot of bites with this,
:: :: :: and now there's another sail wanted ad, how about y'all
:: :: :: throw in your two cents. What are my best options if I
:: :: :: start looking for new sail quotes? Pineapple, ... Who
:: :: :: else?
:: ::
:: :: :: Thanks.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: Any leads on good used sails?
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: San Diego.
