I is 10'? Is that some kind of a 3/8 fractional rig? What's your "J"

P is to long, my P is 27 feet (problem).
I is too long, my I is 10 feet (probably not a problem).

I have round slides (problem).

The tack offset is about right, boltrope for boom is right.

The main problem is it's too tall. Close but no banana!

Thanks, Thom, but it wouldn't fit and it's probably more worn out
than mine because you motor most of the time with the sail
flogging like Booby does.

Hey Neal,

I just thoughtof something. North is giving me 25% off the purchase
price ($368.00) What are your dimension of your main? They can't be that
far off of mine. For $368 you have a huge improvement on your boat. This
sail is only 14 years old and in good condition but would need a tuck
taken in it.
Spec;= E=10' 4"
P=31'
Sail Area=160 Sq Ft
Two Reefs, plus a flatting reef ( Which I have been sailing the last two
years
3/4" flat sail slides for mast, 3/8" bolt rope for boom. 4" tack off set

It's yours for $368, if you're interested

Ey --- Give me a break!!!

North uses I for the foot.

I knew what Old Thom meant because I am a sailor
who is familiar with any and all sailing terms. The older
terms are much more sensible than the new crap that
some lubber came up with.

That proves my point. If all races have loose-footed mains
then they are not as well-suited for cruising.

You idiots with your racing mentality make me want to
puke. Automobile racers use fuel cells instead of fuel
tanks; does that mean you should have a fuel cell in
your Toyota?

Actually, YES!

Even though there is a big difference between a Formula One car and
the family Toyota, there's much less difference between the family
cruiser, and a casual cruiser/racer.

Neal,

Sail maker said shelve can be added anytime. No problem. He suggested I
sail awhile with the foot free. Said I'd probably like it. If not a
shelve can be added

North used 'I' as the foot in the old literature. Don't make
me scan it and post it to make you out to be more of a
fool than you already are.

I'd purchase the shelf if it were mine. An end plate makes
a lot of sense on a mainsail.
