I went to the Sobstad loft in Sandusky and talked to him about a loose footed main. He asked if my main had a shelf foot in it. This is the original main and I not sure what he was talking about HELP He said he might be able to recut it. Boy this forum is great.

My main has a shelf foot, it is a special North Sails racing main. The stock Catalina sails were not shelf footed.

But you can tell, easily. Does your sail have a flattening reef? Small reef points about 6 inches up? Does your sail have a big fat beer belly hanging over the boom with the outhaul eased? That's the shelf, the flattening reef is for pulling that shelf out.

Pretty good view of the shelf foot.
