Adam,

Verily I saith unto you, I do not knoweth my mizzen staysail’s configuration..eth. I could dig it out, spread it on the pier and get the perimeter lengths (after this front passes, the rain stops and the pavement dries), but I imagine a sailmaker will need more than that, i.e., the tack, clew & head angles. Somebody in this group must have all the numbers or know a sailmaker who had built these for other 424’s. Or maybe your guy can work out the angles from the 424’s brochure sail plan, using mizzen mast height above the coachhouse, distance between the main and mizzen masts, etc.

Let me know if the luff, leech & foot lengths of my sail will help.
