At Resail, we offer a wide range of sails: used, new, as new, and stock sails. But what do these terms actually mean and what are you really buying?
Let’s break it down.
Stock sails are brand-new sails produced in larger quantities. Sailmakers create these sails in advance so they are readily available when you need them.
They are especially common in one-design classes, where large fleets require identical sails and quick replacements during racing. You’ll also find stock sails in windsurfing and kitesurfing, where fast delivery is essential.
If you’re looking for speed and availability, stock sails are often the best option.
New sails can include stock sails, but not always. Sometimes, a sail is made to order but never delivered and that’s where opportunity comes in.
There can be many reasons for this:
These sails are often one-off pieces, offering you the chance to get a brand-new sail without the usual waiting time.
For buyers, this means access to high-quality sails with immediate availability something that is rare in custom sail production.
“As new” sails require a bit more explanation.
Have they been used for test sailing?
Hoisted only once?
Used for a single season?
The condition can vary but this is exactly where Resail makes the difference.
Every sail offered on our platform is carefully reviewed and assessed by our team. Thanks to our experience and background in sailing, we ensure that the quality matches what you expect.
A racing sail, for example, may no longer be competitive at the highest level but it can still be an excellent choice for years of cruising or club racing.
When you buy through Resail, you’re not just buying a sail you’re buying expertise, transparency, and peace of mind.
Each type of sail comes with its own advantages:
At Resail, we combine availability with trust. Every sail is checked, so you can buy with confidence without the uncertainty that often comes with second-hand equipment.
The sailing season is approaching, and demand moves quickly. With Resail, you get the speed of a marketplace and the reliability of expert selection.
Make sure you find the right sails before they’re gone.
Enjoy the upcoming season and make the most of every sail.
