In Response To: Sail Dimensions for 5.2 and 4.6? (Bob V)

I had Nort make me a set of sails about two years ago and since they made the original sails for the 5.2 I assume they have the "correct" dimensions. The foot on my sail measures 116 1/2 inches (9 feet 8 1/2 inches) from the center of the tack grommet to the center of the clew grommet, and 117 3/4 inches (9 feet 9 3/4 inches) from luff to leach through the grommets. I did not measure along the foot bolt rope since I had a shelf foot built into this set of sails, if you want that measurement just post. Hope this helps. Mark
