Question for John Stevenson;
John, when you had your Storm Jib recut, what were
the final dimensions?
Have you come up with a sheet arrangement?
thanks

Alan,
I didn't have the Storm Jib re-cut, just had the ATN sleeve removed and hanks added. I had the staysail recut this winter. I honestly don't know what the sail area is. It was re-cut to allow the sail to be sheeted inside the shrouds not to a specific size. It is about 1/2 the size of the original sail which was a modification to a working jib on the 424, so that might give you some idea.
I've decided that I will sheet the staysail to tracks on the forward edges of the coach roof. I'll use track primarily to spread the load. I haven't yet decided how I'll bring the sheets back to the cockpit. I don't expect to start on that work for another month or so.
Right now I'm waiting for the water level to go back down below the level of the dock. We're still 2 hours away from high tide and the dock is under 6″ of water. East winds at the mouth of the Chesapeake are a bitch, especially at this dock which was built about 2' too low.John

Kinda hard to keep fenders in place like that huh?
Ok, so you had the Staysail recut. Sorry I miss read
your web site. I was trying to get some approximate
Foot,Leach and Luff measurements. At least a place to
start from. Would your sailmaker remember?

He recut the sail by marking it on the foot where the new clew would go. I doubt he recorded any measurements, but he might have. Quantum, Solomons, MD.

Check the previous thread – the photos are all there. We’ve spent some time sorting out the email/photo challenges we’ve had, so we’re unlikely to get tons of repeat emails.Thanks everyone for your patience. I know this has been trying!EwanSent from Outlook Mobile
