Measuring for your Mainsail and Mizzen

 

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

 

MAINSAIL/MIZZEN

"P" dimension:  Use the main or mizzen halyard to hoist a tape measure up as high as it will go.  Record the distance from the peak to the top of the boom.

"E" dimension:  Measure from the tack pin of the gooseneck to the point of maximum outhaul travel

 

Along with your rig's general measurements we'll need specifics such as the make and model number of your furling unit and the type and size of the tracks on your spars.

If you can, send us your boat's sail plan or designer's specifications.
