Luff · Leech · Foot
Mast track length (P), boom length (E), plus reef positions and batten layout if you have them.
How to measure
Measure it - or just send it.
There are two ways to get a sail that fits. Send us your old sail and we use it as a physical reference, or measure your rig with our guides. Either way, we verify every critical dimension before a single panel is cut - an old sail is stretched, and we deduct for it.
The send-in route
The easiest measurement is the sail you already own.
Post your old sail to Scheveningen or Dénia, or drop it off. We measure it on the loft floor, correct for stretch and distortion, confirm the numbers with you, and only then start cutting. You get the fit of a measured sail without climbing the mast.

Measuring yourself
What we need, per sail
A few key dimensions describe any sail. Our per-sail guides walk you through each one - and measurement support is free: send photos and numbers, we check them with you before anything is cut.
Luff · Leech · Foot (LP)
Forestay length (I/J helps), furler details, and the sheeting position on deck.
Luff · Leech · Mid-girth
Hoist height, tack position (pole or sprit), and how you plan to douse it.
Luff · Head · Leech · Foot
Gaff, lug and sprit sails need all four edges plus the diagonal - our guide shows which.
Length · Girth · Fittings
Boom length and sail bulk for packs and covers, plus winch/wheel dimensions for the small stuff.
Send photos
A few phone photos of the rig answer half our questions. Free measurement support, always.
Reference, then verify
We never cut on unchecked numbers.
Whichever route you take - old sail or tape measure - a sailmaker reviews every dimension against your boat model in our 1,570-boat database before production. That check is built into every order.
