Here is what I have been told by the skipper of the boat. "Our sail plan is for a Hinckley Bermuda 40 Mark II tall rig. The Main: foot 16'9", Luff 38'6", Leech 42'0". The #1 Genoa: Foot 27'8", Luff 44'0", Leech 44'0". We've been using a lighter weight Reach Drifter which has the about the same dimensions as the #1 Genoa: Reacher Drifter: Foot 29'3", 43'0", Leech 40'8". The Mizzen is newer so that is OK. All our jibs are hanked on since we don't have rolling furling gear."
I am thinking that hanked on jib is going to be an issue. I presume they can get a sailmaker to convert a sail from luff tape to hanks - but at what cost? Anyway. Any leads, ideas on how to help these folks upgrade their sails would be greatly appreciated -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Jul 18, 2013, at 15:05, "Rick Brass" <rickbr...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Jonathan; > > You need to post the dimensions of the boat so we have an idea of what sizes > are appropriate. > > Pyacht lists the following dimensions for I,J,P,E,PY, and EY, but the boat is > question might be different: > HINCKLEY > 40 > BERMUDA 40-1 > 42.50 > 15.66 > 36.58 > 17.17 > 17.25 > 8.58 > HINCKLEY > 40 > BERMUDA 40-2 > 44.45 > 15.58 > 38.50 > 16.08 > 20.25 > 8.50 > HINCKLEY > 40 > BERMUDA 40-3 > 49.00 > 17.40 > 42.40 > 12.00 > 22.58 > 8.20 > > I have an older #3/#4 (it has a reef in it) that might do as a working jib if > the boat is a 40-3. > > Rick Brass > Washington, NC > > From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Indigo > Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 2:42 PM > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Subject: Stus-List Sailing but not C&C related - Hinkley Bermuda 40 Yawl - > newer sails needed > > We have finally persuaded the Sea Scouts in Southport to come out and race in > the white sail division.
