Sorry folks, I goofed on the posting. The sails are supposed to be
priced at $375 each, not $475. My bad.

So, one sail is $375, two for $350 (ea) and all three for $300 each.

Also, to answer some emailed questions about the sails ....

1. The Echo's are similar to the Remedy's, but with one less batten
making them lighter and more manuverable. I liken them to being a
large Poison wave sail in terms of handling.

2. Yes, they are new. Never sailed, except for the 7.4 which has been
sailed twice.

3. Reason for selling brand new sails at a loss? I bought them as a
second quiver and now I don't need them. No reason to keep them
around. My loss is your gain!

4. Shipping. Buy one sail, you pay for shipping. Buy two or all three
and I'll pay for shipping. If you happen to live in the San Francisco
bay area, I'll be out there next week, so shipping will be free even
for a single sail.

5. Where am I sailing on Friday? Looks like N-NE winds 15-25 knots so
I'll be headed to Sheboygan most likely. Sail on the south side of the
pier for clean waves.

As a shameless plug for the Gaastra 2007 Poison 5.8, I own one and
that is a rockin' sail.  Very light in the hands for a "power" wave
sail a.k.a. big buy sail, not nearly as back hand heavy as my 2005
Poisons.  Very nice upwind and down the line.  Great for blasting as
it is very fast and controllable in chop, with less tendency to lift
the sailor off his or her toes in the gusts than in years past.  I
think this year's Poison is the first that I could recommend to
lighter sailors.  It's not terrible for freestyle either, as I made my
first ever duck tack on it, in no small part to the help of Mike
Burns.

$375 is a deal.  No, almost a steal.  David, I'd grab that one so fast
if I didn't actually own it!
