Print the downloadable version of the measurement guide you need to organize your measurements.
For custom sails, follow all of the steps and be detailed and specific about your requirements including hardware and tack pin set back. For stock sails focus on the basics; dimensions, cloth weight, and luff types on headsails. Then perform a search by luff length leaving boat type “Unspecified”. A close fit is good but an exact fit is not necessary. Measure according to the instructions below and fill in the boxes. Please be conservative when ordering and allow a few inches for stretch or error. A little short is fine but too long can be a problem.
Measuring
It is best to measure the sails on the boat. If the sail is not available, you can also measure the rig of the boat. Measuring sails that are not stretched to the proper tension will result in faulty measurements. Please do not measure on the ground. If you have any questions, please contact us at Mike@RollyTaskerNA.com or 831-646-5346.
