Windsurfing Used Sails

We have a nice selection of used sails that will lower the price of that first new board package by three or four hundred dollars. When you first start windsurfing you'll be uphauling and falling quite a bit so there is no sense in buying a new sail and then scratching it all up. When starting out a sail in that 4.5 sq meter to 5.5 sq meter size is all you need. If you have teens or a wife then you might also want a sail in that 3.5 to 4.5 range.

To get an accurate quote for shipping a sail to you, please include city, state and zip code and whether a residence or business address when emailing us. Note smaller sized sails under 6.0 can usually be sent USPS Priority 2-3 days for $20 to $25. Sails requiring a box over 79" long we must ship UPS.

A note about Dacron and SUN verses mylar. UV rays destroy clear plastic monofilm. UV rays also affect Dacron but not near as quickly. I've heard that just after 80 hours of sun rays monofilm starts to cloud, after 300 hours it goes brittle and basically falls apart. This is why you still see many older Dacron sails available. Around 1993 monofilm became cheap to produce and became the standard and dacron panels were out. Monofilm has other advantages besides low stretch in that it does not absorb water making it lighter when wet with no drying time. Dacron however can be kinked sharply without problems unlike monofilm which easily gets permanent creases in it which become weak points. Anyway the point of all this is that currently there still are a lot of nice old dacron sails out there. They are excellent sails for beginners and you can leave them rigged all day in the sun if you want. Older monofilm sails, if the the monoflim is cloudy you just don't know how much life is left, maybe alot maybe very little.

A note about board sanding. The deck of windsurfing board often has a non-slip surface of grit that acts like rough sandpaper on skin and sails. You should knock down any high points of grit with light sandpaper before sailing a new board. The grit on the front several inches of the board nose and likewise a few inches from the tail and any on the sides of the board should be sanded near smooth. That will help save you from costly sail repairs. Never drag your sail over the board surface when uphauling as that grinds the sail threads down!

Neilpryde Search 5.8 - Used - $150 - very nice condition. A really nice 5 batten RAF sail. Though it's used .. it doesn't appear to have been used more then a few times, just a bit of bag wear.

North Zeta 4.2 - Used - $150 - RAF - 5 battens - this sail is like new, owner had only used it a couple sessions. These North Zeta wave sails are built with a bit heavier fabric and X-ply in the panels and thus are tough and long lasting.

Rushwind 6.3 - USED - $50 - 6 battens - top can adjust - 80" boom and 15' 9" luff, should work on 460 mast with some extension. Surely an older sail from the late 80's but it is in ok shape.
