ISO sail measurements -- Morgan 27

[LRH]

Can anyone tell me what the sail measurements are for a Morgan 27? I'm considering buying one and the sails are shot. Thanks.

DONT't ever buy a new sail from published measurements. I might chance a very attractively-priced used sail from the "standard" numbers - but a custom-built sail should be custom-mmeasured.IMHO,Gord

A few more thoughts. While I agree with Gord about the need to measure for new sails, if you have the old ones, and presumably they fit, why not just measure them? Secondly, if buying used sails (I've had some great luck with used sails), all the reputable places, and some individual sellers, will let you hoist the sail and return it if it doesn't fit.

Thank you gentlemen.

Appreciate the information, esp. the advice on buying based on standard numbers.
