[quoteAnd I thought the downhaul eye was 6 inches from the sail foot so when the sail doesn't measure because it's too big you can easily get rid of a bit of sailcloth without damaging the integrity of the design.....any ideas Matt, Geert ]
I only mentioned Matt and Geert because their mainsails were measured at Zandvoort. The outcome was that they were oversized, so Matt took out a chunk of main between the foot and downhaul clew and Geert removed the same area from the leech. Neither were very happy in having to do this.
P.S I added almost 1kg of lead to the top of my mast to comply with the mast tip weight rule <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> but it was only temporary.
