Need LUFF, LEECH, FOOT measurements for CD25 headsail

Post by Keyscaptainadam »

Hello all,

I'm attempting to locate a used headsail that allows me to maximize the use of the J area. That is ... I want to be as close to 100 percent , perhaps 105, without going over.

Due to the sheeting angle from turning block to clew on the CD25, it seems that a smaller sail with fit the needs of the fixed bail on deck of the CD25.

On my genoa, the turning block is on the track with some adjustment, but CD went with a fixed point on deck for the smaller headsail.

Does anyone have approximate specs for LUFF, FOOT, LEECH in order to reach 100%. I'm guessing between 95 and 115 square foot of sail.

Need to find something quickly.
