Title: Reacher/Drifter
Post by: Vic Suben on January 16, 2013, 08:42:14 AM
Does anyone know the dimensions that a reacher /drifter headsail should have for a Catalina 34 with a keel-stepped mast.  Surprise is a standard (not tall) rig. I need to know the luff, leach and foot dimensions. :abd:

Thanks,

Vic

I found this for a tall rig:  http://sailritesails.com/ShowAd.aspx?id=7036&sourceid=2  I think a standard rig is 2 feet shorter(?).

Vic,
Check the FX sail website.  They have Asym Spins that should get you close to what you need.

Ted,
Thanks for the tip.  At the same site I found the sail dimensions for the standard rig.  If you're interested, the  luff  is 43.72'; the foot is 22.54'; the leach is 39.42' and the area is 442.67 sq. ft.
