I am looking to buy a used set of sails (Main sail, Jib) for a ComPac 16/2 7/8 rig. The ones I have are ragged but I am not ready to buy new ones just yet. I was looking for something to get through the summer on.
Mack, did you ever find some used sails to buy? I have a very soft set from a 1981 CP-16, a little re-stitching is needed and there's a tiny hole in the jib. Let me know if you have any interest!
Mack:
There are a number of lofts that sell used and repaired sails. Goggle 'em...you'll find some bargains!

Thanks for the replies! I have been out of town for a few weeks and haven't checked here much. I never did find another set of sails. How much are you asking for them?
Oops, I just noticed that you have a 16/2--that's with the bowsprit, right? Mine is a 16/1, no bowsprit 7/8 rig. BUT if you wanted to give these a try, how about $125 and I'll ship them to you in the continental USA?
These came with a 1981 CP-16 which is very original and bare bones--don't know if these are the original sails or not. They have a sail bag and a mainsail cover. The main has 1 reef point, and has 5/16 plastic slugs with SS shackles. The jib seems to be a 150% genoa, and has bronze snap shackles. They have the ComPac logo plus the hull number of my boat, 710--I don't think there's a loft name on them. Oh wait, maybe I pulled off the red arrow at the clew because it was peeling--is that North Sails? I washed them in the spring, so they are a nice pale gray-tan and smell great! Let me know what you think, and we can switch to PM if you want to buy. Thanks-- Gretchen
