My boat came with four spinnakers, a blooper and a reacher.  I kept one 
spinnaker and sent the rest down to Bacon Sails in Annapolis about a 
year ago.  You might want to check their site as these were in excellent 
condition...

Charles, Is one of yours a blue/light blue/white .75 oz item no. 76-FINN-103?  If so can you tell me anything about it?

Steve

Steve,
My wife was really on me about having so many sails lying around 
(especially since I had just purchased a couple more).  My philosophy is 
"who can possibly have too many sails," but my wife seems to think 
taking a whole room to store sails you are not going to use is a wast of 
space.....  To keep the peace, I sent 8-9 sails down to Bacon including 
a main and all the head sails I no longer used once I went to 
roller-furling.   With one exception (a Norlam jib that was partially 
delaminated), I had been using and they all worked extremely well.  I 
would note that Bacon is quite particular about listing sails and from a 
seller's perspective even a bit too conservative (we all think our stuff 
is the best of course).  They would not list the Norlam sail and sent 
back an old main that passed their thread puncture test, but thought was 
too old.

Have not heard from them and I had sort of forgot about it until your 
message.  I will contact them next week and find out where things stand 
and if that is my sail.

i would not ordinarily post sails I am selling on the listserve, but 
there seems to be some interest at this point.
My wife of course had more details on the sails I sent off to Bacon!  (  
http://www.baconsails.com/  )

Here is what I know:

1.  135-finn-108 is a mainsail.  I believe I have the battens.
2.  76-finn-101 is a 165% genoa set up for roller furling.  It was too 
big for my single-handling efforts, but it really moves the boat!
3.  76-finn-102 is a #2 genoa that hardly saw any use.
4.  135-finn-105 is a #1 jib that hardly saw any use.
5.  135-finn-106 is a 155% genoa.
6.  76-finn-103 is a .75 oz tri-radial spinnaker
7.  76-finn-104 is a starcut .75 oz spinnaker

I must still have the reacher, two 1.5 oz spinnakers and Bob Porter 
still has my blooper (Bob, I will get around to picking it up this 
summer).  All I currently carry on the boat are:  Fully battened main, 
135% roller furling genoa, storm sail, and staysail.

Sorry I did not remember this during the discussion regarding the 
main....  but if you are still interested, Bacon has it.
