Your Email Address.............Your Name .....................Your Address Line 1............Your Address Line 2............Your Address Line 3............Your Address Line 4............Your Phone Number .............Make of your vessel............Length of your vessel .........Year Manufactured .............Hull Number (if available).....If you already know the size of the luff, leech and foot of the requested sail you wish,you can proceed to that portion of the form. Gathering these measurements is a good wayto insure the sail conforms to your expectations.
With tape rule hoisted on the jib halyard, (all the way, please do not try to account for stretch, we will do that) measure:
A- To the feeder (if any)
B- To the bearing surface of tack fitting
C- To intersection of headstay and deck
D- To cabin house at mast
E- To hull to deck joint
F- Pass tape around shrouds as if it was the leech of the sail, then measure to the forward end of the track. Pull tight.
G- To the aft end of track
Size of sail (110, 130, 150, etc.)...... For 110's and 115's, please see design note link below; 110 - 115 Genoa Design Notes Requested Luff Length .................. Requested Leech Length ................. Requested Foot Length .................. For Staysails it is required that you provide luff, leech and foot measurements. For jibs less than 100 percent, it is a good idea to provide the luff, leech and foot measurments as these sails tend to have custom tack points on vessels. It is always a good idea to take the time to come up a with a luff, leech and foot measurement. By doing so, the sail is always what you expect. If you don't supply leech and foot measurements our sail design computer will select these measurements for you. Type of sail (Genoa, Yankee, Staysail).. Genoa's and Genoa sizes are often characterized by #1, #2 and #3. Jibs are sails with LP lengths equal to and less than the vessel J measurements. Genoas have LP's greater than the J measurement. When the LP size approaches the J length, the terminology (Genoa or Jib) becomes less clear. A number 3 Genoa is often a 100 jib. Genoas are also chararcterized by the percent overlap of the J measurements, such as a 110, 135 or 150 Genoa. Please see http://www.fareastsails.com/float.htm for a graphical representation.

We want numbers like #5 luff tape or #6 luff tape. Do not guess or attempt to measure. Check the documentation that came from your furler manufacturer. Clew Height off deck .... .............. (For clew heights, low = 20", medium 32" and High 48", the sail can be designed for any height. If your sail tacks high off deck, it is a good idea to check your leech measurement when the sail layouts are presented)
