Sail Size for DSII

Postby psness » Sun Aug 08, 2004 6:32 pm

Can anyone give me the correct sail size for the main and jib? My main seems small, as it goes 2 feet short of the end of the boom and doesn't reach the top of the mast when the foot is attached to the goose neck. Is this normal? The boom sags and the sail looks bound up around the foot area.

Your main should be 20' 6" x 10'. See the information link on the home page (above) of this site, then go to specs and measures of the handbook (section 8).

Roger, thanks again for your help in pointing me in the right direction. My main luff is 3 feet short and the foot is 1.5 feet short. This seems a bit too far off to me. My jib luff is 1 foot short but otherwise fairly close. So it's off to the www to find a good used main (but I'm more concerned about that bilge leak).
