Well, it is cold but sunny and I have the day off so I went out at 9:00 am to raise the sails on Lady Di, our 1976 22. It seems the previous owner was less than honest with me. While I have a pair of decent sails, a main and a Jib, they are no where near the size needed for this boat!.
It seems he slipped in a nice set of sails that appear to belong to Thunderbird 26. Now that is simply a guess and I have no way to confirm.
Booger.
CraigsList here I come! LOL!

Yes.
It would seem a shame to cut bigger sails. I would prefer to trade the larger for smaller actual fit sails if anyone has or knows of a need.
For giggles I posted on CraigsList here:

I think the price is high but maybe I'll gret someone to swap sails wth me. With the Holidays and all my cash flow is limited.
