Based on some comments about sail size on this list I'm thinking of ordering a kit for a 130% genoa from Sailrite. (I have several sewing machines and enough experience to be dangerous. ?) FWIW I currently have a self-tending jib on a Hoyt boom that may actually be less than 100%. There's also a 175% that came with the boat but I don't love tacking big sails, especially after hearing about the experiences of others. Can anyone tell me if these measurements are correct? I know I probably should measure the I and J myself but the mast is down and the boat's covered, etc. These are from the Sailrite site, who claims the data came from Harken or Lithicum(?). The only thing on sailboatdata.com is the Rhodes 22 Continental (which credits "Sam" Spitzer, BTW). I - 25 feet J - 9 feet P - 22 feet E - 9 feet (not that P or E matter for a genny). Thanks for any input. Mark Boston, MA 2000 R22 *Luna Mia* 1987 Nimble 30 *For Sale* 1982 Com-Pac 16 *For Sale*See the original archive post
