Sourcing sails

Hi fellow mad hatters,
Just bought a mk11 but live in cairns and trying to source some possible second hand sails. Any suggestions? I'll be in Sydney on holidays from Jan 6-8 so could check out some places when we're down. Also is there any Friday night twilight sailing we could join in somewhere? Will be staying at the rocks so could get to anywhere easily. Also wondering if there is any way to track when the boat was built from the original sail numbers on the main. I think I may have the original sails made by millers&whitworth Sailmakers.
Cheers,
Shari

Hi Gypsy,
Check out "Second Sail" located at St. Ives in Sydney. http://www.secondsail.net or alanrb@hotmail.com
His ad in the Afloat magazine reads; Hundreds of sails in stock many in as new condition. Professional alterations available. Please ring for an appointment. Call Alan Barber, 0408 020 258.
Note that a J24 main can be recycled on a Top Hat.
Good luck.
