Can you get the hull number of the boat and/or the year it was built? The B40 honcho down here will ask the fleet...

"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" <[email protected]> wrote: Jonathan; You need to post the dimensions of the boat so we have an idea of what sizes are appropriate. Pyacht lists the following dimensions for I,J,P,E,PY, and EY, but the boat is question might be different: HINCKLEY 40 BERMUDA 40-1 42.50 15.66 36.58 17.17 17.25 8.58 HINCKLEY 40 BERMUDA 40-2 44.45 15.58 38.50 16.08 20.25 8.50 HINCKLEY 40 BERMUDA 40-3 49.00 17.40 42.40 12.00 22.58 8.20 I have an older #3/#4 (it has a reef in it) that might do as a working jib if the boat is a 40-3.

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!
