[C38] J measurement

[Larry Malmberg]

My suggestion would be to ask one of the local sail makers to come out and
make all the appropriate measures for you, jot them down and go from there.
Maybe even two of them at different times.  I have found they are very
cooperative if they think there is a sail purchase in the future.
 





Best regards,

Larry Malmberg

Yes I have roller furling, but the measurement is to the point it attaches
to the bow/deck.

from foreside of mast line to the point of intersection of the forestay with
deck". If you set a spinnaker pole as low as possible and drop a plumbob
down to the the forestay attachment and take a measurement from the mast to
where the plumbob is attached to the spinnaker pole it should be 15.5 feet.
The measurement is not from the track on the front of the mast. You have to
add the thickness of the track to get the real measurement. Also make sure
the boat is level ( not bowdown or sterndown ) When building a spinnaker
pole you have to take into consideration the thickness of the track the
spinnaker car and the diameter of the ring. The spinnaker pole will be
several inches shorter than 15.5 feet.

measures 15' (1980, #64)...has anyone else had this situation?  If mine is
different from the rest/majority should this impact my rating?
