I'm overhauling a Chrysler 26 1980, looking for a full set of standard sails (Mainsail and Jib) must be in reasonable condition and reasonable price... overhauling is not cheap.

Have you looked at used J22 mains? Looking at the dimensions they seem to be very close. There are lots of J22s out there with racing owner that buy new sails regularly. The jibs would probably not work.

I will be putting a roller furler on my 26 I might just convert it to tape or sell it it is a 170 hank on, the guy at the loft by me said it's in good shape but it is a 30+ year old sail pretty clean I also have a main that is very dirty from being left on the boom for 5 years its a little blown out but worked for me all last year I got a brand new one this fall so I shouldn't need it.
