The luff on both these sails is too small.
 
The genoa can have a luff of about twenty-six feet and the main should be  
about twenty-one feet.
 
The price of these sails reflects their under sizing

Hello 
 
I saw a pair of Pattison made sails at e-Bay.
The Genoa has a Luff of 24´4" and foot of 12´3" and is at about  $250
The main is 19´10" and foot 9´ and is about $90
They appear to be much larger than my old sails that came had the  PO.
 
Are these sails sizes for raicing ? Are they too difficult to manage  if I do 
light cruising only ?
Can somebody help commenting me on this. The bid ends today evening
