In Response To: 4.6 sail dimensions (Kinney 4.6 #592)

Thanks for that information. You could get the letter scanned at any Kinko's, and then it could be uploaded like a picture. Your letter agrees pretty closely with the SailRite dimensions on a 4.6, though they disclaim "An asterisk after the dimensions above indicates that a computer algorithm was used to determine the figure shown based on partial data..." They show the 4.6 leech at 21.50' (with an asterisk), which is pretty close to your 21'9". But then you go back to the 5.2. SailRite has the leech of the 5.2 at 23.24' (head/clew, asterisk again) and the class rules are 20.44'. What am I missing here? Bob V
