Age of Sail

Is there any marking on a racing sail which gives the age? No idea how old it is but it is no longer crisp and feels like it has stretched out over the years and my boat speed is just not the same anymore. Thinking of getting a new sail.
 
Age is just a number so they say.
You gave all the reasons why you need a new sail.
Enjoy your new sail
 
It would still be a good practice/training sail

Some of the hard core racers will retire a sail from racing after very few races. They start to stretch and soften the first time they are used.
 
It does sound like a new sail would be a nice (birthday?) present.
To really compare sails, you would need a partner and compare pointing and speed going upwind.
