Article Abstract:

A sailor reluctantly replaces his old mainsail with a new one. The old sail had become akin to an intimate piece of apparel for the man and holds many memories of past voyages. Retiring the old sail means more than just stuffing those memories away in a drawer but also losing a valuable tool.
