the luff of my main is hopelessly stretched. i have a line from the luff reef cringle to the clew and the boat sails better but it looks strange. (pics later)
i would like to get the peak down and the sail area up. do you have the luff and leach measurments of your sail so that i can scale down and get a starting point?
Thanks fran
