Buying a Mizzen Staysail

I recently bought a 43' ketch. The Mizzen is rigged for a staysail, but I do not know how to go about specifying it to a sailmaker. Any ideas?

Too many variables. Get the sailmaker to come down to the boat.

Definitely worth getting the loft to send someone to measure the boat properly if you want the sail to fit.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
