Sails
Sail inventory is fairly extensive because I originally sailed the boat without roller furling. With furling, a more limited inventory would suffice.
Also available if desired: Original genoa, about 130%. This sail is in pretty good shape but hasn't yet been converted to roller furling.
The existing sails are more than adequate for extended offshore work (i.e., no expensive sail repair or replacement needed), and most likely you wouldn't choose to carry all of them on board.
The only sail you might want to consider replacing would be the staysail, and then only if you intended to sail the boat more like a true cutter as we did before installing roller furling. That sail has been partly restitched and is a little out of shape. However, it still functions well. We consider it more of a back-up sail now, for use if something should happen to the genoa and we have to put the Yankee on the roller furler.
