Sorry, you didn't put % behind those figures, so I didn't catch it.

That is a big sail, and not uncomomon for early 70's boats. Your main being about 125sq ft or so. mine is listed at 160, but I know of one person that just got a main made at about 190# going with max roach for the same boat.

Another thing you can do, is go to the FX sails site, input your boat make and model, and that will tell you the I, P J E measurements of you boat, you can go to teh make a sail part, and see if there 180 genoa would be close to your known measurements. If off an inch or two, no biggie, if off more than that, you may not have a 180 persay, then play with the programe untill you come up with a sail that has numbers more or less with your numbers. UNLESS of course, that is how you got your numbers.........then all bets are off.


Hopefully this has helped, and not confused.
A big help, thanks a bunch
Then as Brenda would say, have some rum!

If I do, it will "Cap'n Morgan" for sure
