Hi, I need details about the sails I need for my American Hunter 37ft. The reason why I ask this stupid question is, that they broke into my boat and stole nearly everything what was on the boat. including the sails, so I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out. Please send the information also to kirchnerroy@yahoo.com Thanx Roy

Sail Spec.
I own a 88 Legend 37'. The specs for that boat, with a fractional rig are as follows I = 48', J = 13'6", P = 49'0", E = 15'6". Once you give that information to your sail maker they can determine the sail specs. You should call Hunter, they have helped me with many of the parts I needed to replace in my boat. I am going to replace by Jib this winter. Let me know if you would be interested in combining orders so that we can get better pricing. rgbcmy@tiac.net Mickey

Site Resources
One of the benefits of this site is the resource information available. Under "The Boats" is a lot of good info about dimensions, including sail dimension, tankage capacities, displacement, etc. Interior plans, pictures, and owner reviews are also there. With regard to dimensions though, if you are going to have your sails made up by a loft they will no doubt have these available in a book. Once you give them the order they will come out and take measurements in order to tailor the sails for your boat. Details like sacrificial spreader patches (to prevent chafe to the sail), jib tack and clew height (depending if you want a deck sweeper or one you can see under, and for genoa car location), etc. They will also check the luff tape diameter. As for some details, for the jib, note if you want the UV protection on the left or right side of the sail. I have mine set up so when I furl the jib it turns in the direction so the tack pendant doesn't snag on the bow roller (clockwise). I'm very sad to hear about your loss and we should all realize that since this was a random act it could have been any one of us. When I was kid many of the marinas didn't even have gates, let alone locked gates. But times are changing and this is typically what comes with increased population and growth. Once the thieves realize what marine gear costs and how to market it we're all likely to become targets.

sails
One thing about sails, they have a thumbprint. You might think about printing the sail numbers on the net so that if any one is approached by someone with a good deal on used sails we could check to see if they are yours. They need to show up sometime! Sorry to hear about your loss.
