Cape Dory 28 club foot jib foot dimension.

Post by BI Community Sailing »

Hello! We have a "new" 1974 Cape Dory 28 hull #4, and we are ordering new sails. The club foot jib is so blown out, the sailmaker needs an new jib foot measurement from the point where the tack connects to the forestay fixture, to the jib clew connection at the end of the jib's boom. Does anyone have this measurement handy? Our boat is on the hard with the spars stowed away so it would not be that easy for us to measure it ourselves.
Thank you very much for your help!
best wishes,
Henry
