awhile back i saved a thread that gave dimensions for the hunter22 luff and foot dimensions;
below is an answer given to the question of what luff and foot dimensions are:

Assuming you are not referring to the new H22
Luff: 23' 6"
Leech:24' 11"
Foot: 8' 4"
I believe that the 21.75' Luff sails are for the new H22.


i have found these same dimensions on other websites,but when laying out my main and streching as far as possible , i come up with approx 23'
my boat is a 1981. Is not the sail , i have two main sails origonal to the 1981 h22 and both are same..

so i bought a mainsail with 23'6" luff and you guessed it slack ,i could use the cunningham to draw it down but it seemed to bag the sail at the foot.

just thought i would throw this out there,so anyone looking will take notice..
Lay your old sail out stretch as far as you can..and then go shopping..

Bolt rope can "shrink" over time and repeated usage, shortening luff and bagging sail...

Simple fix at home if you have more talant than money or at sail loft if you have more money than confidence...
