Don't forget to allow for the distance from the boom to the front of the mast!

The Main Foot should be 10.5 for a standard rig. The boom end is slightly more. You only need to cover the sail. The end of the sailcover is pulled taught with a line from a grommet in the cover to the end fitting and that distance can be as much as six or seven inches (estimated). I would suggest you send the old cover providing you haven't made a new exotic or racing mainsail in which case the sail may be bulkier, particularly at the head; in that case it needs to be measured with the sail in place.

My C27 Owner's Manual gives the "E" dimension as 10.50 feet. I believe "E" is the length of the boom not the length of the mainsail's foot.
