OK - we're getting close to wrapping up our purchase of an '82 J/30. Just waiting on the survey report and expect it to be good.

So, a couple questions:

1.) Short-term: the sails on this boat are bags. Given lead times for new racing sails, I'm looking for anyone interested in selling decent used racing sails to get through this season. If anyone has any older sails (but decent) they are interested in selling, feel free to email me.

2.) Long-term: what's the prevailing opinion on sail makers for the fleet. I know North builds a popular product for the J/30 and I have quotes for 3DLs and the Code 2S Norlite kite. However, before placing an order, it would be interesting to know what folks in the community have to say about some of the other products. UK? Quantum? (I'm sure this should spark a good conversation... ;-) I'll probably be purchasing for next season which will give me time to get the rest of the boat in race shape.

Any info, guidance, etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
