Posted - 03/29/2021 : 05:47:23 Wondering if anyone knows what to do with old sails. I assume they should be disposed of correctly. Thanks for any suggestions. I am located in the Ct and Long Island area.

Posted - 05/23/2021 : 20:22:46 That kind of thing often happens through the Swap Shop. I have one of the Maine Sea Bags--a very sturdy, large tote for the boat, complete with an anchor emblem probably made from a cover on somebody's furling jib, or an old bimini...

Posted - 05/23/2021 : 17:53:04 Thanks for asking, I sent my old headsail to a fellow forum Cat 25 owner. He needed a sail while he shopped around for a new one. I purchased my new sail from The Sail Warehouse and am very pleased with it.
