[C38] two free sails left

[Joseph Launie]

Don,
    I would be most interested in the number 2. It would fill a hole in 
our inventory. For us, it is a sail we put up when the wind starts 
blowing harder. We sail with a 155 90 percent of the time. By the way - 
we are extremely pleased with the number one you sent. We were unable to 
even take it out of the box until we took it to the sailmaker as my wife 
and I are not into heavy lifting which is the reason for the delayed 
response. Joe Launie/ Macavity
