Sail questions

As I’m pretty close to launching the boat for the first time, I got all the sales out to take inventory and take some pics. The jib is on a CDI further looks to be a 155 and it appears to be in good shape. The two mainsails were bagged and one looks like maybe it was the stock sale? It has a Mwe’re bagged and one looks like maybe it was the stock sale? It has a M 26 on it and is made by hood. The second one has no other markings on it but it looks like it’s made by masthead.

I do have a roller furling boom that you crank around with a hexagonal tool. Do these sails look like they will work that that setup? If not, I assume they will work normally as any other sale on the boom with traditional reefing?

And does anyone know what the green bag is for?

Thanks

To me, having two mainsails means either you have a spare, or the previous owner just never got rid of the old sail.

As to the green bag, maybe that's a binnacle cover. Do you have a binnacle on a 26S?

The only person I know who has a roller furler main is Jimmyt. That makes him the expert on what may work; he has an :macm: , not an "S".

That green bag looks like a deck bag for a hank-on jib.

The one with the "Masthead" sticker also has the Rolly Tasker boomerang on it. Rolly Tasker makes sails for a lot of other companies, Blue Water Yachts being among them.

Both are rope-footed sails. The rope slides into a channel at the top of the boom, and seems to be the logical choice for for a furling boom.
