CDI furler - Correct Headsail dimensions/What do I have?-26s

Post by InsuredEnough »

2nd attempt.....

My furler headsail is a mess and I need to order another headsail....any ideas of what I have?

Foot 16' 10"
Leech 19' 10'
Luff 22' 6"

KH has a 100% immdiately available....but I am thinking about getting a 150%.


The original Jib is in brand new condition, thank goodness...but I have to figure out how to rig it up.

Hi,

you'll find all measurements on this site, which I've found very helpful in the past :

Have fun with your Mac26S (the classic :) )

Another source for sail sizes is: http://wadler.org/boat-mac/sailsXboat.php

Notice that the two sites don't agree. The sailritesails site says that their sizes are computer generated and that they might not be correct. They also say that the Classic Macs were designed and built by George MacGregor. :o YMMV

Hi,

Those dimensions indicate that it's a 150% genoa for a roller furler.

Hope this helps,
