Donate your old sails

[Spencer Raggio]

The earthquake in Haiti over the weekend hit a country already in crisis mode due to the pandemic, a country still not fully recovered from the devastating quake in 2010.

Sails for Sustenance collects old sails and provides them to subsistence fishermen in Haiti:

Many of us have old, blown out, torn or damaged sails in our basement or attic that we'll never use again. No matter how bad they seem, they will be a vast improvement over what these fishermen are using now.

I'm putting together a box to ship down to S4S at the end of the month. Email me if you have something to donate and I'll add to my shipment.

Thanks,

Spencer

Thanks Stan and Keith. I'll be at the LGC Saturday morning if you're able to drop sails there.

I have some old J-24 sails I will donate. They are highly sentimental, because I used them when I won the J-24 national championship a few years back. But happy for them to be used for a good cause

Hi Spencer,

I have  2 sets of old sails from the '80's  that came with eclat.  They're so fast I'd feel better about giving them to some guys in Hati than beat everyone in the Wednesday nite series

 

Lmk where I can bring them.

Those spinnaker dresses looked great, though 😉

Thanks Cathryn, see you Sat.

Thanks Spencer for organizing this. Great contribution. I have 4 sails from my Tanzer to donate. It's a far better use than making party dresses out of them like the "good ole days"! See you Saturday.
