Uggg. I know I'm a fool for ordering brand new sails for a '79, but it needs sails and I'm not coming up with anything decent used. Can't sail it at all right now since I managed to run a batten through the luff and destroy the bottom 8" of the luff. All the used sails that I'm finding are crap, so I might as well just order new.

My '88 hull should be showing up this week and I have a possible lead on a '90 for the other side. I don't expect to to make it to nationals or anything, but it should be a good boat for recreational sailing and small races.

Besides, if I order brand new sails, I can just transfer them to a new boat when a 96+ appears in Ohio and I buy it.

If I order OEM white sails from my dealer, for a Hobie 16, are they going to have the following, or is it going to cost me extra.

* Windows
* Tell tale windows
*Tell tails
* Sail numbers
*Batten pocket protectors?

Secondly,
Are my old battens going to fit the new sails? I spent a good bit of time sanding and putting new caps on them.

Third,
It looks like 1200 + tax is about par?

I tried to contact the nearest dealer, but he hasn't returned my email or phone call. I'll probably end up ordering from the next closest dealer sometime next week, unless a decent used set comes along.
