I have just replaced my headsail and hate to just throw the old 150 in the dumpster. Any suggestions on anyone who may have a use for an old sail (that is not in good shape)? Anyone in the puget sound area is welcome to it.....

I've heard that local Boy Scout Troops like old sails to be used as tarps on camp-outs, etc. They also make great painting drop-cloths. I cut one of my old genoas up for a cockpit awning. Bought two Forespar poles for the fore and aft ends. Lots of uses!

Great idea...
Having recently ordered new sails for my 1991 C-36 I'm considering options for my own old sails. I was considering painting our main and using it on the last sail of the season, Louis' Last Regatta. I'm not sure I can post an example here, let me see...

Anyone in the PNW with a 150% genoa that doesn't need it please feel free to send it on over to me! Boat only came with a 125%, not enough, and I have too many other boat projects sucking $ out of my wallet!
