I need help finding some parts for a G-cat,

An Olympic sailor that i sail with has given me a G-Cat but all the sails burned up,
Any way i can get sails for the boat?

There was a 5.0 that recently sold in Biloxi with two sets of sales, maybe you could get one of those if the new owner doesn't need two sets.

Okay, would it be better to order new sails? It's almost brand new...Never been sailed, been stored in the garage and has a boat cover.

That's pretty cool, in that case you need to get Andrew to ask his good buddy Hans Geissler if he has a stash of NOS (new old stock) 5.0 sails. Otherwise your going to need to have them made.

Ha, the anonymous one.

Based on past posts I think both these members know Mr. Geisler, try sending a PM.

as far as i know, Hans does not have any new sails (i am sure he would sail them if he did)

Hans loves landenberger sails (as do i. i just retired my Pentex Tornado sail that held up VERY well for years), - http://www.landenberger-sailing.com/web/landenberger/de/home.html

I am sure Whirwind sails can make you a fine set too, same with most US cat sail makers.

You can contact Mike at Ellie's Sail Shop, he had a used set of 5.0 sails a few weeks back, not sure if he still has them - (727) 442-3281
