Osprey sails wanted

Post by Obscured by clouds »

looking for a decent Osprey main. for using with a cruising rig on my N18 'Sibrwd'.

crispy would be good.

Having built a free standing wooden mast for the lug sail I had made for her and finding it measuring in a nearly 50lb with a diameter at the partners of 5.5" [ie a big heavy lump] I am rethinking the rig, in order to get on the water whilst I save up the not inconsiderable sum for a carbon mast.

I have an osprey mast in semidecent nick as well as a 505 [both superspars]. Logic dictates that the heavier Osprey section would be best suited for the 18 [not even going to attempt to put on the heavy section 30' N18 mast.]

So anyone out there with some osprey sails?

Did you find any Osprey Sails? I have a set for disposal, taking up space so going cheap. In Essex but could sort something out.

No, I bought a set of Jollyboat sails which fit the Osprey mast I have. I also have a full N18 cruising rig coming, so don't really need any more , thank you.
