I got a chance to go through the sails that Bacon claimed to be "delaminating" and "of no value". I'm not a professional sail maker (or sailor for that matter) but both sails looked to be in perfectly fine condition. They might be equivalent to a 2 or 3 year old race sail. No delamination anywhere. As Ron described one is a 98% and the other is a 155%. The 98% has partial battens. The 155% is radial cut. Both are a mylar/kevlar material and very light by comparison to my 7.5 oz cloth %145. The sail bags appear to be in worse condition than the sails. I'll be holding the sails until Ron picks them up in October. If anybody is interested between now and then, just let me or Ron know.
