QUOTE REQUEST FOR A QUOTE
In order for us to prepare a quote for your new sails we need to get a couple of basic dimensions.
Measuring an old sail is not recommended and anyway, if the quote is accepted we will need
accurate measurements to make the sail.
Use a long tape measure attached to the main halyard not forgetting a retrieval line just in case the
tape comes off and the halyard is left up the mast! You may need to stand off the boat to get the mast
bend and ‘black band’ measurements.
Please do not measure a rope that has been hauled up the mast as
often errors occur with this method.
Rig Dimensions in meters- please tick or fill out the appropriate box.
If you know the area of your mainsail please fill in here
out the following:
m2 If unsure please fill
Main
P Hoist the halyard as high as possible or the black band & measure to the top of the boom.
You may have to sight the black band from off the boat!
m
Y Whilst the tape is still at the top of the mast measure to the bearing point of the outhaul car or
shackle when in its normal position for upwind sailing.
m
MB Measure the mast bend by lowering tape, take the main halyard to the tack fitting and pull it tight.
Tension the backstay to the normal upwind setting and estimate the gap between the back of the mast
and the halyard. (to assist with the estimate, measure the fore and aft section of the mast and use
this as a guide)
m
E with the outhaul fully on to heavy air setting (or to the black band) measure from the back of the
mast to the bearing point of the outhaul shackle.
m
BS Measure from the back of the mast to the backstay.

Measurements required to provide a quote for Headsails.
To provide you with a quote for Headsails we require only the sail area and
the type of sail you require.
If you know the sail area fill in only “area” below for each sail.
If you don’t know the sail area we can calculate it from the following;

Attach the tape measure to the jib halyard (or top swivel of the furler) and hoist to the maximum.

J Measure from the intersection of the deck and forestay to the front side of the mast for the J measurement.

Now also measure to the tack attachment point on the bow (or top of furler) for the

Choose a panel layout according to the size of your boat. Boats 40 feet and larger will get the best sail
shape and longest service life from a Tri-Radial spinnaker. For boats under 40 feet, a Radial Head is
appropriate. For smaller boats (20 to 25 feet), a Crosscut panel layout is fine.
1. TRI-RADIAL
By aligning the thread-line of the fabric to the radials of the head and clews, the Tri-Radial layout reduces cloth stretch and prolongs the useful life of the sail.
2. RADIAL HEAD
Using a radial design in the highly-loaded head area of the spinnaker makes the Radial Head a good
choice for boats under 40 feet.
3. STARCUT
The Star-cut panel layout aligns the thread-lines of the nylon fabric with the major loads. The Star-cut
is best for larger and heavier boats.
For most coastal cruising and weekend sailing, .75 oz. fabric is recommended. If your boat is over 40
feet and you plan to carry a spinnaker in breezy conditions, 1.5 oz. fabric will have a longer service life
than .75 oz. fabric. In either case, we recommend a sausage to make handling the spinnaker easier
and safer.
Starcut Radial Head
Tri - Radial
SYMMETRICAL (Conventional)
A symmetrical spinnaker has equal-length
luffs and does not have an airfoil shape. It
should be used with a pole, and for running
conditions a symmetrical spinnaker will
outperform an asymmetrical spinnaker.

The luff of an asymmetrical spinnaker is about
15% longer than the leech, and the sail has an
airfoil shape. Generally an asymmetrical
spinnaker is easier to use than a symmetrical
spinnaker.

Measuring for a Spinnaker is very easy. The only dimensions needed are the I and the J measurements.
Hoist a tape measure to the top of the mast with the Spinnaker halyard remembering to tie a line to the
halyard in case your tape breaks.
I dimension
(Measure down to the sheer line adjacent the mast, not the cabin top).
J dimension
Now measure from where the forestay
MB connects at the bow to the front of the mast.
We will calculate the area of the spinnaker. (measurements in meters)
Luff
Cloth weight Area
Tri Radial
Radial Head
Starcut
Asymmetric:
Symmetric:
For cruising ideally the luff length should be within about ten percent of the I measurement and the foot length
should be between 160% and 200% of the J measurement.
Spinnakers and Asymmetrical with an area greater than 200m2 in 1,5oz cloth are made with 2-ply leeches.

Tame the beast
Although an asymmetric is generally more easily handled both these downwind sails can become a handful
when it gets breezy especially when sailing shorthanded.
The Rolly Tasker Sails “snuffer” or spinnaker sock provides the perfect solution allowing the safe hoisting and
dousing of either sail. When coupled with a decent auto pilot and a little practice single handed spinnaker
sailing becomes a real option.
We can supply you with a custom made “snuffer” or, at even better prices we have “standard size” snuffers
available! eg.
