Used Sails Wanted

Looking for used spinnaker and mainsail for my early 70’s Rhodes 19. Boat is used for cruising not racing so not too concerned about age/use so long as in reasonably good shape. Especially in the case of the spinnaker as I don’t currently have one.

Please contact me by email or text if you’ve got one or both and looking to offload.

Thanks
