When Mike and I were at the 2013 Maine Boats, Homes and Harbors Show in Rockland recently, I talked with the nice folks at Sea Bags.  They make totes and more from old sails.  They take/trade old sails and dodgers to make them into new sailing gear.  I hate the idea of throwing away all that material and am glad to find a way to recycle useful material.  They can arrange a pick-up or shipping and help support sailing programs for kids too, so it is a win/win for everyone and the earth also.  Check out their website www.seabags.com and save those sails from the dump.  a.s.
