Measuring for your Headsail

 

It is important to measure your rig's maximum dimensions.  Hong Kong Sailmakers, sail designers will make the proper allowances for stretch and hardware.

 

HEADSAIL

"I" dimension:  Attach a tape measure to the jib halyard or (roller furling only) to the lower shackle of the upper furling unit and hoist the halyard up as high as it will go.  Record the distance from the peak to the intersection of the mast and deck (not the coachroof).

"J" dimension:  Furling and non-furling sails:  Measure from the stemhead (NOT the furling drum) to the front face of the mast at deck level.

 

 

Along with your rig's general measurements it would be useful if you could give us specifics such as the make and model number of your furling unit.
