[Public-List] Sails -- What do you carry?

[Mike Meinhold]

The A30 J is 10.5 feet ( base of mast to bottom of forestry)
This table has the dimensions of Chesapeake  Bay A30 jibs

A 100% job would have a luff perpendicular of 10.5 feet

Jib      Luff     Foot   Leech   LP   LP/J
Working   30.0     10.3   25.8  8.5   0.81
#2        32.0     15.0   30.3  14.1  1.34
#1        34.0     19.0   33.5  18.1  1.72

 My three jibs are pretty close to these dimensions
