Subject: Sails wanted (new?)
Info: (3159 views) Posted: Monday 6-6-11 04:10:56 PM
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,

:: :: Thanks.
