Not sure about "the percentage" of the factory working jib, but H. Wadler has the dimensions
posted on his webpage. He got all these stats directly from the factory.
Note that the X and M have identical foresails, both Jib and Genoa.

Wow, nice site Frank, that presents it rather clear and concisely. That is a good link for Heath's new references.

Thanks Frank, I'm getting my jib back tomorrow and will report back according to Mike's 4' formula.

The 26x and 26m essentially use the same headsails. There is a 100% working jib and a 150% genoa. Both headsails sold by KHM are built to these specs. Obviously, so are the factory sails by Doyle.
