hey mate.
i have a once used sail that i am looking to sell. as you realized hobie dealers in Australia are way overpriced and i was looking to start a small importing business from a contact i have a a factory bringing in hobie sails but never really got round to it. he sent me down a one and it is still sitting under the house and i am just looking to offload it so i could give you a good price. They are made by fwd sailing so you can check out there website or i will happily send some photos if you get in contact with me. the only time the sail has been used was to take photos of it and i gave it a 20 minute burn around a freshwater lake just to test it out. The only thing i am unsure about is if it can be used to race as it is not hobie brand.
cheers, alex
