As soon as i can get the mast up I'll be happy to take the measurements of my foot, gaff, luff and leach for u.. Like I said" u'r mainsail is small enuf,Fran that u can buy a used sail from Bacon and have them cut u a proper main. It is the way I went on F.B. when I put a new sail on her 2 yrs ago. She had a 5 oz main which was totally dead..We used it as a template on top of a larger main of 3 oz. and they cut me a sail. They did this for me at Atlantic Sail Traders which is only 3 miles from my house.Was far less expensive than a new main, it looks good and works very well..my thoughts on the matter, u'r opinion may vary... U'd really be surprised what a difference good sails make.. U have a very pretty boat, so give her what she needs!
