Would a sail with the following measurements work for a 250????

Luff 28', Leech 24' and foot 17'.

If not what should I be looking for?

<font color="blue"><font size="4"><font face="Comic Sans MS">SCnewbie

With a luff of 28 feet and using 5% rule on luff..... 26.5 feet is all you need between spin crane and bow attach point to make it work.

Im not sure either , maybe call around to order a new one (bigger lofts)
see what they suggest , Then you can compare prices too .

I always thought 1/2 price for something used was a good starting point .

if its a big sail you would like to get a sock too , maybe .
