[bolger] Micro sails, ETAL
Hi David,
I just pulled the sails out of the bag and hung them on the wash line
to air out and have the following information;
They were made be Taylor sailmakers, Lakeside, Montana. They have
what I think was the Micro logo, a stylized M in the shape of the two
sails, mail and mizzen. They have one reef point in the mail. There are
no ware spots at all, and the only fault I can find is a brown spot
where a drop of glue soaked into the bag and left a mark on the sail
about the size of a quarter. As far as the age, I would guess about five
years, from what I know about there history. About three years ago, I
bought them along with all the rigging and masts and spars from a guy in
Florida who lost his micro in one of their hurricanes. He had the Micro
for several years before that, but had just bought the sails. I have
both the original masts, and spars, but the main has a twist in it, so I
also have the unfinished main mast. There are tracks and cars for both
sails.
I had wanted to get rid of all of it at one time, and that has proven
to be the problem because I don't know of any way to ship them. My
asking price for masts, spars, sails and rigging is $300. If money is
tight, I would be interested in trading for anything boat related of the
same approximate value.
