Hey DB,
Do you have the Mid Girth dimensions for that spi by chance?

Hey Jeremy,

Actually, I don't but I know that there's a lot more required than linear dimensions to make that spi. However, if you want to give it a shot, I can try to find out for you. What says ye ????

I'm definitely interested, if/when I go to a loft I want to give them as much as possible to work with.

JEREMY: Does a mid girth dim apply to the flatter, roller furling "hooter" type sail? My intention, at this point anyway, is not to go with the traditional, deep spinnaker.

Here's the home grown spinnaker kit I wrote about in your other thread. This was taken last weekend on the Chesapeake Bay in 10-15 NE wind.

Thanks D. Lay it out if you want and get a MG. I'm always curious to see what people are running. Truth be told, a lot of used old rartty (read: inexpensive) spins will work, some better than others.

Hey Jeremy, old, ratty spins as hoooters? I thought they had to be flatter than the typical spin in order to furl properly. ???? Help a man understand....
