Sorry to say, but the old main from my 38 is over 7 feet to tall, and the luff of the laminated #2, the #3, and the reacher I have are all nearly 50 ft. So none of my extra sails will fit.
Guess I’ll just have to get motivated to putting them on EBay. But if it helps to solve your problem, I have a complete Tough-Luff 2 headfoil (which is now made/sold by Lewmar). It was on my boat for about 4 years before I converted to roller furling, so it has seen a bit of sun, but is still very good condition. The two slots in the foil are for #6 luff tape, IIRC, and the foil is a bit over 50 ft long, so it could be shortened to fit. That way you could use sails with a luff tape without the trouble and expense of converting to hanks. And it would also make sail changing a whole lot easier for the sea scouts. Keep it in mind if you come up with some sails.

"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.

They are handicapped in more ways than one, but I am hoping I can enlist the help of this incredible list to see if we an locate a new set of sails for them – this should not be difficult – their current set is 45 years old. They do not have the funds to buy used from Bacon or similar, so we are hoping to find some folks who are willing to donate their old sails to a good cause!
