The handbook suggests the foot of the mainsail should be 3.3 m, i guess 28ft is around 8.5 m. I know the leach will add a bit as its full in the middle but if I ignore that (3.3x8.5)/2 gives an area of 14.02 m2 against the handbooks 14.8. Not much difference really, as long as the foot is the same length the extra height adds very little area. I would say no problem unless you are going to enter class races.

A friend has just bought a Mk 3 Vega. No mainsail so he is about to order one.
He has measured the distance from gooseneck to masthead sheave as about 28 ft 10 inches.
This suggests a mainsail luff of about 28 ft.
Not consistent with the Vega handbook?
Maybe not the original mast?
Should he just go with the actual measurements? Too big a main for a Vega?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks
