New, custom sails only to place 19th (out of 21) in the women's? And then not to use them hardly ever again? Something doesn't smell right.

New sails will fit just fine, and the cut of the jib will allow significantly more mast rake. It's hard to convey how much better the sails are now than what they were then. I laugh at the people on eBay who sail their used sails are "crispy". You don't know what "crispy" is until you've unpacked a brand new sail.

If pristine but old these good for $700? Currently the ask is more than that. Other buyers are still in line before me.
No way these sails are "pristine" unless they've been rolled and vacuum sealed for 20 years. The cloth gets brittle over time. If they've been folded, the fabric at the creases will be damaged.
These are worth $500, max.
