Free Mainsail, Extra Large

If you’re looking for a relatively hi-tech mainsail at a relatively low cost — as in free — we’ve got what you’re looking on the sidewalk in front of 15 Locust, Mill Valley, CA.

The sail is the second of four that we’ve had on our 63-ft cat Profligate, and was last used in the early 2000s. It’s a full battened sail without the battens, and it doesn’t have hardware for the mainsail track. It’s something like 70 feet on the luff and 26 feet on the foot. It’s made of some blend of Spectra. It’s heavy, too. Something like 230 pounds, so it wouldn’t be suitable for a Catalina 42 or anything like that.

As best we can recall, it was still serviceable when we took it off the cat. But even if you got new battens and new luff car hardware, we’re not guaranteeing that it could still be used. Its best use might be as some kind of cover.

The last time we offered an old Profligate main for free was two years ago. It was literally falling apart, but a bunch of people wanted it, so it was gone within hours. So if you want this sail/cover, where is, as is, email us ASAP.
