How can I find Balboa 20 sails?

Question

I'm trying to help my dad out. He's looking at a free old fixer-upper Balboa 20 by Arthur Marine. I love sailing and so does he so we're willing to do the work. Our big problem is finding sails. Any ideas or other info we should know?

Answer 1

you should go to your local sail maker,  he can make you a set of sails.  if no local sailmaker, try north sails or another name brand sailmaker.  sailing is great fun!  enjoy!

Answer 2

You need to call Atlantic Sail Traders in Florida. 1 800 wind  800. They have a computer that has all the boat s and all the measurements and matches up sails available. They may not be able to supply the exact but they can find one close for a good price. We had a Ensenada 20, made by the same people. There are other companies that deal in used sails but we have had the best luck with Atlantic. We had to send a sail back to a California company. You can find ads in the back of sailing magazines for the companies.
