Hi folks,
I recently purchased my Sea Pearl 21 with brand new sails. Unfortunately, the sails are on average 6" too short, compared to a third party sail plan I found online (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sea-pearl-21). The mainsail is functionally too short as the vang does not reach its clip on the mast. Having the torque higher on the mainsail could make an already tender boat even more tender. However, compared to the previous mizzensail, the new mizzensail is even longer on the luff, as I had to move the gooseneck down to accommodate this sail. This means that the (after market) aft bimini no longer fits under the mizzensail, and especially won't if I modify this new sail to match the sail plan.
My questions are
1. Anyone who has original sails, what are your dimensions?
2. If anyone has different sails, have you noticed a difference in balance or performance?
3. Is it worth it functionally to modify these new sails to fit the sail plan?
I have tried to contact Marine Concepts but no reply yet...
Current sail dimensions:
Main:
Luff- 15.45
Foot - 9.40
Leech- 16.85
Mizzen:
Luff - 14.70
Foot - 6.70
Leech - 15.45
Thanks!
Vivian
