What to do with old sails?
Has anyone come up with any ideas for keeping their old pin top sails out of the landfill? -leaving them in the corner of the basement is no longer an option.
I've got a 4.2 wave sail a 6.0 all round sail and a 7.5 race sail thats mostly mylar.
Is anyone able to use these as they are?
Other ideas?

The mylar small ones I suspect can be re-sewn into kiddie rigs or kayak sails to receive a new lease on life.
If they are post '93 they would make okay beginner rigs or dryland sailing/ skateboard sails?
The larger ones really do make a cool colorful van awning or a great addition to a playground, a shade you can suspend from trees over your kid's sandbox or a beach/bbq windbreak with some brilliant use of old fibreglass tent poles or PVC pipe.
Yes, I have seen them suspended in bars, maybe the rooftop beach volleyball court at the Stickey Wicket can use one to give things some color

old sails
get a bunch of them some old downhaul lines sow it all together and make a parachute. good for cliff jumping. OR you could make the wings for a homemade ultralight, isn't that what John Denver did?
like a duck to water
