If you have a production boat, why do you need a custom sail? It is both expensive and time consuming to design and build one sail at a time. We decided back in 1993 that it would make more sense to build in volume and stock production sails for common boats. Still, we get this question all the time: Q: “Are these sails actually in stock or do you have to make them?” CONTENTS A: “In Stock! And we can ship most items immediately.” SECTION 1 We also stock many generic sized sails that fit a whole range of boats regardless of the spe- Measuring for Sails . .2 cific make or model.

Jib/Genoa Percent Overlap Explained The working size of a JIb or Genoa is described as: “Percent Overlap” and is deter- mined by the formula J x % overlap = L/P. To understand percent overlap here are the three terms you need to know: 1. “J” - is the distance from the bow of your boat (or the tack fitting) to the mast. Flat Internal slide Slugs Boltrope External slide measure slide width measure diameter measure diameter measure track width 2. “L/P” (The sail’s luff perpendicular) - is how far the clew of the sail comes aft from the bow of the boat (see Foretriangle Diagram). 5. Luff: Foot: Type & Type & 3. “Percent overlap” This refers to how far back the clew of the sail comes in relation Size Size to the mast. Simply put, if the clew of the jib comes back exactly even with the mast, it would be a 100% Jib (the sail’s L/P is the same as the J dimension of the boat).
