Four Sails and Not A Reef Point Between Them.

 The title says it all
boom is 9 ft.   mast is 25 ft.
 sail measurements  could be off a bit as we could not lay it out flat.

 what is there,                                                               sail rite dimensions
Main sail rope luff
 foot 103" = 8.5 ft                                                          8.9                                           close
237"  luff =19.75                                                         21.0                                     a  bit short
22 ft leech                                                                  v22 =  23.8 OR v222= 22.2               maybe
84 sq ft main sail


Jib ( marked as  90)

284" luff (wired) 23.6 ft                              v22         19.6 or 18. 6 ( cant make it out for sure)             short
                                                                  v222       24.3                                                tad long but close

104 " ft foot  8.6 ft foot                                            8.9 OR 8.10                                  close
101 sq ft



Med sail   luff 20' foot =10'   100'                                  matches nothing on sail rite page.specific to this boat


 Big sail (marked as 150)                                                               sailrite dimensions
rope luff                                                                                                    24.0 OR 24.3
151 " foot  = 12.5 foot                                                                        v22=     12.4 OR    v222 15.8(?)
 foot is close to same size as sail rite dimension page
Did not measure luff as none of us felt
like trying to flake a sail this large inside. 
  I'm thinking the big sail is a Genoa.


 sail rite page for this boat's sail  dimensions
 I have been watching the sail rite videos on making sails. It is definitely worth the time spent., NO wonder the danged things are so expensive!!!! Yipes! Considering the shape of the mid sized jib, and the fact that I'm going to be looking at sails in the next year or two, The more I consider this the more I am convinced Junk rig is definitely the way to go.  Time to develop  plan "B".
