[This has been posted on the "DN America" site and iceboat.org, so apologies for the duplication. I'm looking to cast the widest possible net in hopes of getting this together for next season...]

I'm putting together a "loaner boat" around my old DN. Last year I got the hull and plank back in shape for Jori Lennon to use while her new hull was under-construction. That catalyzed an effort to assemble the rest of the parts for a complete program. My old Norton-Winder fiberglass mast should be nearly perfect for a beginner, and the Mattison/Krueger shop on Willy Street has donated some wire to make stays. Two years ago, Wayne Schmiedlin helped fix my spare boom to use with his new hull, and just yesterday I acquired a set of plate-runners from Eric Olsen of Milwaukee.

So, all I need now is a sail...

The only spare sails I have are from my original (ancient) wood-mast DN, and the bolt-ropes won't fit in a modern mast or boom (it also doesn't have a window in it...).

I was hoping someone out there might have an older, but modern-style, sail (and/or battens) they would consider loaning/donating to this project.

If you have something that might be suitable, please drop me a note/call at: geoff@geoff-s.net or 608-235-3746

Cheers,
