What is the correct foot for a Catalina 30 , standard rig? I am looking to replace the original main with a new (loose foot) sail and am seeing both 11'6" and 12' foot sizes.

Thanks for this. Seems correct.
I've been dealing with a sail loft in New York who seem to have this information reversed (hence my question in this forum). They claim that the specs for a tall rig stipulate 11'5" and that the standard rig goes with 12'.

I measured the boom length from the tack pin to the maximum foot I could get away with. It is over 12'. My new loose footed main outhaul is about 1/2' short from being two block. The P is also to the max plus it has a roach with the IRC numbers that is allowed. Fully battened and with a flattening reef for the few times that you really need a flat sail.
if you go to Bacons sails you will see a list of just about every boat ever made and the sails measurements. STD is 11.5 and Tall is 12.
