E-27 150 % Jib Wanted

[Ernie]

I just purchased an E27 and the head sail is less than desirable. I'm looking for a decent used 150 (roller not hank on). Anyone with a good source for used Ericson sails? Thanks

Ernie,
Look on Ebay, always a few sails there, and check with your local sail loft for trade ins that can be slightly modified. I just got a really decent 155% with new UV shield for my 34 at about 1/2 price.

thanks for the replies

Bacon has a few hank-ons but I guess I'll keep looking.

Another place to find used sails.

You should also try plan B -- that's where you call sailmakers and reps in your area to see if any of them have a sail already built that fits your boat. They sometimes have a trade-in or a new sail that did not fit another customer's boat due to a measurement mistake. The big national lofts will have a list of such sails sourced from a bunch of their lofts.
