Genoa Sheet Length

[Steve Braverman]

Ok, I'm too lazy to figure this out on my own, so I'm asking. How long should the sheet be for a 150% Genoa on an O'Day 25?

On our O 26

the PO had a 60'(30 per side), and when we added a 150 it worked well. the 25 shouldbe very similar. By the way, ours is hanked on, don't know if a furler would be different.

Steve,My OD25 has a furled 135%. I based my sheet length on the boat length x2 then added 10 feet for good measure. That seems to work fine. Longer would be better but not so much that it would puddle in the cockpit and become a problem.Fair winds

Give it a day or so and I will have it posted

on the 25 spec page.I have an original document that gives the lenght and sizes of all the standing and running rigging.r.w.landau

Thanks for the info

According to R.W. Landau's original info, the old way of figuring it (Boat length x 2 + 10') is right on. I bought 60' so I guess I'm good to go. Thanks everyone.
