Long story: I took my '67 Santana 22 (hull #44) out to a local lake on Saturday, this was the first time it was in the water in about 10 years I think. It did fine, I had some problems with the rigging but worked through it. Wind was about 5-10 knots. So the next day I brought it down to Puerto Penasco Mexico. Launched it, got out into open seas with about 15 knots of wind, and the main ripped apart in about 2 minutes! I realize now the old sails were completely dry rotted and in terrible condition. Uh. The boat felt so great in the water, I love how it handled. I would love to not spend a fortune on brand spanking new sails, but is it worth buying used? Any could sources (other than here)?
Feel free to post on this thread if you have any or know anyone who has some. Thanks!
