12/20/13: Received new sail.
- Measurements: (Sent the following numbers to sailmaker, Chip Buck).
- I: 54.4’
- J: 15.6’
- These measurements were obtained by tying a 100’ measuring tape to a halyard, tying a spare line to the halyard (to retrieve the halyard when finished), and hoisting the tape on a calm day. I tied the measuring tape so that the 1’ mark was where I wanted to start the measurement, then subtracting one foot from the final measurement.
- Chip subtracted 1% from these numbers to allow for sail fabric stretching.
- Cost for new sail: There was a mix-up with rig size, so the main sail provided was too short. The deal was if I bought a new jib I could then trade the old main for the new main. I bought the jib for $2800 including shipping.
- And here are the numbers for the completed sail from the sailmaker:
- 125% Genoa
- 8.88 oz. Dacron
- Marine Blue Sunbrella leech protection
- Luff: 51.54′ (15.71m)
- Leech: 50.56′ (15.41m)
- Foot: 21.62′ (6.59m)
