This is the second time I've posted this, but the details have changed.

We're commissioning a suit of custom sails for "Red Wing", our P-19. They're
being built by UK Sails in San Francisco specifically for SF Bay's windy
conditions.

We're selling the Harken 207/208 furler unit with or without the working jib.
The working jib is Tanbark, with a Sunbrella UV edge cover. It has a wire in
the luff for use with the Harken furling unit. If you want to use your own
jib, you'll have to have a wire installed in the luff. The setup works well.

The main is unusual - the previous owner cut out the roach and removed the
battens for sailing in tropical storms (I think that's acalled a Swedish
luff). It has two sets of reef points and mast slugs. It's tanbark. Unless
you need a sail for coastal passages, I think it's best suited for making
sailbags or turning it into a boat cover or anchor rider sail. . Bruce
Little, the previous owner, sailed "Red Wing" up and down the Pacific Coast of
North America. He's one of the living legends in Potter-dom.

If you're interested, please make an offer based on what it's worth to you.
We'll take the best offer plus shipping cost. However, we might keep the
working jib if the offer is too low and use it "as-is" for an anchor rider.
