Hi Jan,
I checked the online owners manual- they don't show specs on the boom to top of mast P value of a 26, but there is a 15" difference in this value from a 27 to a 28. So,I guess there would be a difference between the 26 and 27. Boom to top of mast = 29'9" on the 27. I don't know! Thanks for the help, I'll see if I can find the dimensions on the 26 mainsail
Thanks,
Hud

Any good loft will have the information you need, probably on computer. If you want to talk to a good sailmaker (not in MD, but UPS works) call Hunter Riddle at Schurr Sails (see Schurrsails.com). Joe

which is also accessible from the "Where to Look" web page on this (CCDOA) website.

Skelley/Ullman sails in Havre de Grace made a mailsail for our 27 a few years ago. They do good work.
