Sailboats with heavy displacement may need to go one size up.
For racers and bluewater cruisers, we recommend going one size up.
For reaching sails, you may need to consider a model for which you are not getting at the top end of its range capacity.
Sails featuring a total area close to the top end of the range might be better off going one size up.
You may want to shorten a sprit due to restrictions in the IRC/ORC rules to avoid any addtional penalties.
Send us the answers and some good photos and we will get back to you.
Depending on your yacht or sailing program, you may need to consider a semi-custom solution where we shorten a standard model.
RACERS: For those racing, this situation can happen if you do not want to suffer any racing organization penalties and our standard models will not provide the desired length.
CRUISERS: For those cruising, it can be due to the presence of a bow roller which requires more thought for the installation.
Over the years, we have worked closely with owners and riggers worldwide to provide the perfect fit. Filling out our questionnaire will help us determine the best solution.
