I have been reading about the decision against North Sails regarding 3DL-Sobstad patent infringements. I realize that many J/30 owners use 3DL for the class #1. I also realise that some owners may now be without the 3DL sails they ordered...
Here's the scoop - I have a BRAND NEW, North 3DL class genoa (mylar/pentax) that was used in two light air races (under 6 knots) at the 1999 Youngstown levels. I bought the sail from the North Sails Toronto loft after an individual in Buffalo refused to pay for the sail due to an extremely lengthy construction/delivery period. I do not race one-design and incur a PHRF penalty for using the sail.
I am interested in selling the sail since I will only use it for Youngstown and would rather use the proceeds from my 3DL sail for a panelled 155% genoa. I am asking US$2,250 dollars. Again, I will restate that the sail is in extreme pristine, factory fresh condition... my sail numbers have been on the sail less than 9 months.
