The blueprints have faded here and there; I've indicated text which was particularly hard to read with a question mark. All the numbers were legible, however.

Now that we've installed the roller furling genoa, our old headsails are for sale:

- 170% genoa (North Sails)
- 150% genoa (origin unknown, probably North Sails)
- 150% mule (origin unknown)
- 150% drifter-reacher (T&A Sails)

The 170% and 150% genoas probably date from the late 70's, and the 150 is reefable, awkwardly, to 130%. The 150% mule is serviceable, but not pretty, and may be original. I have fondly nicknamed it "Old Yeller." The 150% loose-luffed drifter-reacher is in excellent condition but I don't know its age. All have been patched by a professional sailmaker. Make me an offer--I will very seriously consider a trade for a working Navico windspeed and direction masthead unit!
