In the next week, I'd like to offload my Kona One, Tabou Rocket 145, 520 mast, MauiSails 9.5 sail, and possibly my MauiSails carbon formula boom.

The items are located in a storage facility in Cl ...

The nice thing about the "sail size" metric is that it sort of compensates for different sailor weights. That is, although there are tons of variables, as others have pointed out, I find th ...
