Sails with edges like this are good to put in the air? I have approximately 7 sales with edges that are chipping off (some better/worse then this example).

I have a few of these, this is my best one. Still a bit worn on an angle, but much better than yours. Outside diameter is around 3 1/4". Shaft size is
1 1/8". Typical. I do have sails also. Just need to get them off the rails.

Those of you that have the windmill calendar , look at March .
The caption under the photo says "yah , he's got it " It's amazing what a collection of parts & knowledge Windy has , and willing to share both .
