Buying used sails (a complete guide to buying second-hand sails)

By Author Fiona McGlynn

Posted on Last updated: August 18, 2023

If you’re looking into buying a set of used sails, you’ve probably realized just how expensive brand-new sails can be.

Fortunately, you can buy used sails (that are still in good condition) for very affordable prices. Potentially saving yourself thousands of dollars.

Finding a good deal on a used sail that fits your boat is just a matter of knowing how and where to look.

In this guide we’ll cover:

  • How much do used sails cost (and are they worth it)?
  • How (and where) to find great deals on used sails.

Cost-saving tip: Did you know you can also save money by buying used boat parts ?

used sail

How much do used sails cost?

While pricing varies by size, material, and condition, you can expect to spend a fraction of the price that you would on a set of new custom sails.

As an example, when we were preparing our Dufour 35 for bluewater cruising, we spent $5,000 on a brand-new main and genoa (a hefty chunk out of our cruising budget).

I recently priced out a similar set of used sails in good condition and came to a total of $1,200. That’s a 76% savings!

Do used sails save you money over the long run?

You might be wondering if a used sailboat sail will save you money over the long run. After all, used sails are “used” and presumably don’t have as much life left in them.

As sails age, they lose both their shape and structural integrity. They gradually stretch which makes them less efficient airfoils and impacts performance. They also become more prone to tearing as the material degrades.

Imagine paying $1,200 for used sails that only last one season. You would have been much better off spending $5,000 on new sails that last 10 or more seasons (i.e., $500 per season).

So, when you’re shopping for a used sailboat sail, it’s important to look closely at how the used sails are rated.

Most sail brokers have ranking systems that describe their sails as being anywhere from “Like new” to “Good” to “Useable”. These rankings can differ from broker to broker.

So, to find out if my $1,200 sail set ranked as “good” is still a good deal, let’s take a closer look.

We’ll use Atlantic Sail Trader’s used sail ranking system as an example:

  • Fair – 45-50% of life left
  • Good – 70-80% of life left
  • Very Good – over 90% of life left

If my sails cost $5,000 new (with 100% life left), you’d think that a “good” set with 75% life left should cost should cost $3,750. Instead, I found them for $1,200.

So, in reality, you’re saving more like 68%, which still seems like a good deal.

Used mainsail and used genoa

What about performance?

It’s worth pointing out, that sails have two “lives”:

An ultimate life: how long it will stay in one piece. Never use a sail for so long that it risks breaking while underway.

A performance life: how long it will retain an aerodynamic shape, allowing you to point higher and sail faster.

A sail’s performance life is generally shorter than its ultimate life. How much shorter, depends on the type of sailcloth.

According to North Sails , woven polyester sailcloth has a performance life that is less than half of its ultimate life. For cruising laminates these figures look to be more in the 70-75% range.

These numbers might sound dismaying, but it’s worth investigating what “performance” means and how much it matters to you.

In our experience, new sails were nice to have but not life-changing. They did noticeably improve our boat’s sailing performance, allowing us to point a bit higher and eke out a fraction of a knot more boat speed.

Whether or not this matters to you will depend on the type of sailing you’re doing.

If you’re a competitive racer, new sails might be quite critical, giving you that winning edge.

If you’re weekend cruising, they probably won’t make much of a difference, maybe getting you to your destination 10-15 minutes earlier on a half-day sail.

If you’re planning on doing bluewater cruising you may want to buy new, as we did, because we didn’t want to be faced with replacing our sails halfway through our trip. Or budget may be the determining factor, and a 50-80% savings is nothing to sneeze at.

What about all those ugly stains?

Don’t let a few rust and mildew stains put you off buying a used sail. These stains are pretty common and aren’t necessarily indicative of a problem (though it might suggest the last owner didn’t clean their sails very often!).

With a few sail cleaning tricks you can greatly reduce the appearance of stains and brighten the overall appearance of your sail.

How to search for used sailboat sails

Before you start your search, you’ll want to have a clear idea of what you’re looking for. You’ll need to know:

  • What type of sail and features you’re looking for?
  • Your sailboat’s key rig measurements
  • Where to search for used sails (e.g., online marketplaces, sail brokers)

Used sail types

You’ll find a wide variety of sail types on the second-hand market. Here are some commonly available used sails:

  • Jib sails (triangular sail set forward of forwardmost mast)
  • Staysails (the innermost headsail on a cutter-rigged sailboat)
  • Genoas (a headsail that is large enough to overlap part of the mainsail)
  • A ll-purpose asymmetrical spinnakers (for sailing 80-150 degrees off the wind)
  • Symmetrical spinnakers (for sailing 110-180 degrees off the wind)
  • Code Zero (for sailing 40-110 degrees off the wind)

Used spinnaker

Used sail features

There are many options and features that affect a sail’s performance and longevity.

While you may not get everything you want in a used sail, understanding sail characteristics will help you narrow down your search.

Mainsail battens are flexible inserts, often made from fiberglass or vinyl, that help support the roach and improve the airfoil shape.

A standard mainsail has short battens but you can also get full battens which help reduce the flogging of a luffing sail and make it easier to stack the sail on the boom.

Roller furling headsails are common on the water today and you’ll find plenty of used options. Furling mainsails are also available second-hand if you happen to have a boom or mast that accepts a furling sail.

old yacht sails for sale

Reef points allow you to reduce the size of your mainsail when the wind speed picks up. The more reef points you have, the more flexibility you have to adjust your sails to match the wind conditions.

Do you want a used mainsail with a single reef, deep reef, or even two or three reefs?

UV damages sailcloth, ultimately shortening the life of your sail. Sail covers are built-in and keep the headsail protected when it’s fully furled.

Some used sails come with a custom sail bag for storing your sail when it’s not in use.

Leech Lines and foot lines

Leech lines run along the leech, from the head of the sail to just above the clew.

Foot lines run from the tack to the clew along the foot of the sail.

Both lines are used to tension and reduce any fluttering in the edges of the sail.

Pro tip: Can’t find all the features you’re looking for? You can pay your local sail loft to make alterations or even do it yourself with a basic sail repair kit .

sail repair kit

Used sail materials

Woven polyester.

Most of the used sail market consists of woven polyester, a material known for being affordable, durable, and reliable. It’s often called dacron, in reference to the DuPont trade name.

Charter companies expect to change out their dacron sails every two to three years or 1500 to 2500 hours . For the average weekend cruiser, this might amount to 10 years of serviceable life.

old yacht sails for sale

Laminated sails

Laminated sails are a step up from dacron. They tend to be lighter and hold their shape longer, though generally aren’t as long-lived ( expect 5-7 years ).

Laminated sails are made by combining a load-carrying fiber (e.g., polyester, aramid, Spectra/Dyneema, carbon, or a mix) with a laminate (e.g., Mylar film).

You may find a few used laminated sails on the second-hand market place but they’re not as common as dacron. They also tend to be pricier.

Nylon is a lightweight and low-cost fabric commonly used in spinnakers.

Cruising World has a good overview of sail materials if you’re looking to get into the nitty gritty.

Material weight

When choosing a sail, you’ll have to choose a material weight that’s appropriate for your boat’s size and displacement.

For instance, a 20-foot boat might use a 5 oz Dacron mainsail, but a 50-foot boat might use a 10 oz Dacron mainsail.

From there, you’ll be looking to balance how easily the sail fills in light winds with the sail’s longevity. Generally speaking, heavy sails will last longer while lighter sails are better for sailing in light air.

Take your sail measurements

The most important step in used sale shopping is getting accurate measurements.

At some point, you’ll need to hoist your sails and take detailed measurements of your rig. You can work with your sail broker or use this downloadable sail measuring guide from Sailrite.

However, to start your search, you only need to know four basic rig and sail dimensions.

Quick search tip

If you’re just looking to get a rough idea of used sail pricing and availability, you can look up rig measurements (I, J, P, E) for your boat on SailboatData.com and input these into the used sail websites listed at the bottom of this post.

Remember, it’s CRITICAL that you take hoisted measurements before ordering a used sail as your boat’s rig measurements may differ from those on SailboatData.com.

For example, your boat may have a tall rig, or a previous owner may have made alterations to the spars, stays, or added a roller furler. All of these may impact your rig measurements.

Used sails measurements

Mainsail measurements

Luff length (p).

Hook the end of your tape measure onto your main halyard (alongside your old sail) and hoist it right up to the top of the mast. Then measure to the top of the boom to get your maximum luff length.

Leech length

While you’ve got your tape measure hoisted, take the other end and measure to the end of the boom where you want your clew ring will be.

Lastly, measure from where the tack of the sail attaches at the front of the boom back to the farthest back point where you could attach the clew. This will be your maximum foot dimension.

Luff attachment

Depending on how your luff attaches to the mast (e.g., slides, slugs, rope luff) you’ll need to know the width of your existing track or slot. However, it’s fairly easy to add or change out slugs and slides if you can’t find a used sail that will fit your mast track.

Headsail measurements

Luff length.

Hoist the end of your tape measure up to the top of the mast with your jib halyard. Measure down the forestay to the deck. If you have a roller furling headsail, you’ll attach the tape measure to the top spindle and hoist it up. Measure down to the top of the furling drum.

I dimension

With the tape hoisted up the mast, measure straight down to the deck.

J dimension

Lastly, measure from where the forestay connects to the bow back to the base of the mast.

If you have a roller furling system, you’ll also need to measure the diameter of the luff tape, the small cord on the luff of the sail that serves as the attachment point to the roller furling system.

Luff Perpendicular (LP%)

Have you ever heard someone mention a percentage when talking about a headsail (e.g., 135% or 150%)? They’re referring to the sails LP% or Luff Perpendicular percentage , which describes a headsail’s size/overlap relative to a boat’s J dimension.

The LP is the shortest perpendicular line from the clew to the luff.

The LP% is the LP divided by the J dimension (measurement along the deck from forestay to mast)

LP / J * 100

Deciding what LP% you want, will depend on a few factors including:

  • Where you sail. In an area like Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where summer winds are often light, you may want to opt for a higher LP% than if you were in San Francisco Bay, where the winds blow more consistently.
  • Racing or cruising. If you race, your LP% will likely be determined by race regulations. Most cruisers and weekend sailors opt for an LP% in the 135% range which offers plenty of flexibility for moderate sailing conditions.
  • Rig. It’s important to balance your headsail with your mainsail and ensure that your track position can accommodate the sail you’re interested in. If you’re buying a used sail that is considerably different from your existing one, you may want to contact one of the used sail brokers below for help with fine-tuning your setup.

Fine-tuning

Remember that these measurements are just a starting point to help you narrow down your search.

There may be other factors to consider:

  • Do you have a masthead or fractionally rigged boat?
  • Will a new headsail be balanced with your old mainsail?
  • Will your new sail work with your existing track position, furling system, and clew heights?
  • Will you need to make adaptations like installing a pennant or spacer?

Once you’ve narrowed down your search to a few sails, contact a sail broker (see below) and they can give you tailored advice for your particular situation.

Where to buy second hand sails

Online marketplaces.

eBay has a wide assortment of used boat sails. You may also have luck finding a good deal on a used sail on Craigslist or Kijiji.

One downside to these marketplaces is that you’re buying sails from the original owner, who may not provide precise measurements and likely won’t be an expert in sails.

Used sail brokers

Several stores specialize in selling used sails. They all vary in how they present their inventory. Some have retail locations, though you’ll find far more selection if you’re willing to shop online.

Some used sail websites offer better or more services than others.

  • Most sail broker websites allow you to search by luff length, rig dimensions, or boat make and model (though user experience and ease of navigation vary!).
  • Some companies will take your old sails on consignment and give you credit towards your new purchase.
  • Some sail brokers will make alterations to your sail for a small fee before sending it to you.
  • Many have return policies or satisfaction guarantees, though you may be required to pay for return shipping.

Minney’s Yacht Surplus in Costa Mesa, California is a must-visit for cruisers sailing down the coast. Not only do they have the largest new and used sail inventory on the West Coast, but they also offer a huge assortment of used boat parts. Their sail list is available on their website.

All sails are priced under $2,000 and sold on approval. So, if it’s shipped to you and you decide it isn’t suitable, you can return it within five days.

HERMITAGE Yacht for Sale

Not for sale or charter to U.S. residents while in U.S. waters.

Steeped in maritime history and lovingly restored to her former glory, HERMITAGE stands as a testament to the golden age of sailing. Crafted in 1929 by the C.A. Morse shipyard, now known as Lyman-Morse, in Thomaston, Maine, this classic sailing yacht boasts a rich pedigree and a storied past. Originally christened as SEA GYPSY, HERMITAGE participated in World War II, patrolling the waters near Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and Block Island as part of the picket patrol. In the years that followed, HERMITAGE continued to leave her mark, playing a pivotal role in the classic yachting movement and revival of the 1960s. With her sleek lines, traditional look and impeccable upkeep, she inspired a new generation of John Alden-styled schooners, setting the standard for elegance and craftsmanship. In the 1980s, she underwent a graceful transformation from a gaff-rigged schooner to a staysail schooner, further enhancing her performance and overall aesthetic.

Now, after an extensive 2 million dollar refit spanning 2023-2024, HERMITAGE emerges from her restoration as a timeless beauty. Every aspect of her design and functionality has been carefully reconsidered and meticulously upgraded, ensuring she remains at the pinnacle of classic yachting for generations to come. From her galley updates and air conditioning system to her electrical and navigational systems, no detail has been overlooked.

The 2023-2024 refit saw the installation of a new Sea Frost 12 Volt system in the freezer compartment, a state-of-the-art HVAC system to keep guests comfortable in any climate and the addition of a second Ramnarine chart plotter for enhanced navigation capabilities. Engine instruments were upgraded to OEM specifications, and Lewmar thrusters were rebuilt to ensure smooth maneuverability in tight quarters. The propulsion system underwent a comprehensive overhaul, with the inboard engine removed, rebuilt, and reinstalled, and new bearings, seals, and hoses added to the transmission system for improved performance and reliability.

Tankage and plumbing were also addressed during the refit, with new fuel, fresh water, and holding tanks installed to ensure ample supply on long voyages. An updated water-making system was rebuilt to provide fresh water on demand, while standing rigging, stays, shrouds, and halyards were renewed or replaced to ensure the utmost safety and stability under sail. Winches were upgraded to hydraulic Lewmar models for enhanced performance, and safety equipment, including bilge pumps and fire-fighting systems was added.

Despite her age, HERMITAGE's interior spaces are as elegant and inviting as ever, with teak accents and dark glass cupboards lending a sense of timeless charm to the main salon and dining area. The salon is anchored by a large wooden dining table, perfect for meals or simply enjoying conversation. A large mirror adds to the sense of openness. The galley, positioned on the port side forward of the salon, combines modern convenience with classic elegance, featuring stainless steel countertops, a double sink and a Meile electric stove and oven. The modern yet classically styled galley further solidifies HERMITAGE’s commitment to maintaining traditional charm without compromising functionality.

Accommodating up to 12 guests in seven cabins, HERMITAGE offers a luxurious retreat. The owner's stateroom, situated on the port side aft of the salon, exudes classic elegance with its teak accents and tranquil ambiance. Bathed in natural light from a port window, the room features a welcoming double bed flanked by a wooden hanging closet and ample storage. A full en-suite bathroom adds convenience and privacy. Guests are treated to three staterooms on the port side, each designed for comfort and style. Detailed teak doors lead to cozy sleeping quarters with bunk-style twin beds, overhead lighting and portholes. Spacious hanging closets and additional storage ensure a clutter-free environment. A mirrored layout on the starboard side offers twin bunks and ample storage for added convenience. Starboard and aft of the salon, another guest stateroom awaits, boasting classic wood teak finishes and a comfortable double bed. A sink and hanging closet add to the room's functionality, ensuring a restful stay for guests. Forward, the final guest stateroom features a bright ambiance and a double bed with storage, providing easy access to the deck through the lazarette hatch.

HERMITAGE cuts a striking figure on the water, with her sleek lines and graceful silhouette evoking the timeless beauty of a bygone era. Her teak pilot house offers unparalleled panoramic views. To starboard is a second helm station ready for navigation and to port, a dedicated navigation station offers all the essential instruments and charts. The custom seating area forward features a U-shaped teak bench that provides the perfect vantage point for alfresco dining and soaking in the sights and sounds of her cruising grounds. 

Whether under sail or at anchor, HERMITAGE is a true masterpiece that captivates all who encounter her.

Why Buy A Used Mainsail

There are several reasons why someone might choose to buy a used mainsail:

Cost : A used mainsail is often significantly cheaper than a new one, making it a more affordable option for someone who is on a budget.

Quality : Some used mainsails are in excellent condition and can perform just as well as a new sail.

Sailing needs : If you only sail occasionally, a used mainsail may be a good option because it may not be used as frequently and therefore may last longer.

Environmental concerns : Buying a used mainsail can be a way to reduce waste and have a smaller environmental impact.

It is important to carefully inspect a used mainsail before purchasing it to ensure that it is in good condition and will meet your needs.

Key Mainsail Measurements To Know

There are several key measurements that you will need to take in order to properly size a new mainsail for your sailboat. Here are the steps you can follow to measure your sailboat:

Luff length : Measure the distance from the top of the mast to the top of the boom. This is known as the luff length.

Foot length : Measure the distance from the base of the mast to the boom. This is known as the foot length.

Leech length : Measure the distance from the top of the boom to the end of the leech (the back edge of the sail).

Headboard height : Measure the distance from the top of the mast to the headboard (the top corner of the sail).

Mast diameter : Measure the diameter of the mast at the point where the sail will be attached.

Jib halyard length : Measure the distance from the top of the mast to the point where the jib halyard is attached.

Boom length : Measure the distance from the end of the boom to the point where the outhaul (the line used to adjust the foot of the sail) is attached.
