Does anyone have a view on Sail Register sails? Is is understood that one can get a set of club racing sails for around £690 and a posh set using the latest sail cloth for around £790.
As a club sailor should I be considering second user sails and should that be one year or two years old and for how much?
If second user, anyone looking to sell at the end of this season?
Your thought will be appreciated.
Thanks
Nick-Aitch

Dan & Mike Rimmer know there stuff, Andy Elliott was also involved with the Design of the sails. I see no reason why they shouldn't be as fast as anyone else.

The problem with 2nd hand sails is that they may or may not suit your mast or all up crew weight. At least if you buy new the sail maker should ask you about your mast type and all up crew weight. It can make a big difference.
