I am getting a new headsail from cruising direct (now North Direct) and am in the process of filling out their headsail measurement form.  It is very complicated and I'm not 100% sure of my measurements.  Has anyone filled out this form before for a TM?  I could use a check on my numbers.  Any help appreciated.

Sean : The most important measurement is the luff length.  I wouldn't copy anyone else's!!!
What I'd recommend is that you measure the luff of your old head sail and then make necessary adjustments, ie. a little longer or shorter to suit your need/likes.  The one thing that you don't want is to have too long a luff on that NEW head sail!!!  A thought
