They sent me a form with diagrams of what they wanted and tips on how to get them. They also had me take as high a definition photo from the side of the boat, fully rigged and used that, scaled it and double checked all of my measurments to the scaled photo. Scaling a photo can be surprisingly accurate. I do this to study existing spaces all the time and there are plenty of software that allow you to calibrate the photo and take measurements. Of course, the real test will not come for a couple of months. I did feel there was some room for interpolation as, I don't race. I'm not overly fussy when it comes to sail shape. If she isn't luffing and the tell tales seem to be doing what they should, I'm happy as long as the boat is moving along. I am a bit concerned about spreader patches, they just send stick on patches.

What did you measure and how did you know how/what to measure. While watching my loft take measurements for the headsail, I was shocked at the different measurements he took. Each spreader, radar, babystay. Those are just a few which I would have trouble describing let alone understanding the measurement desired. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD
