Steve Milby	Posted - 11/18/2021 : 12:03:13 I saw this ad by chance on facebook marketplace. It looks like it's symmetrical, and the ad claims the sail is "like new." The seller says it comes with a "sail bag," but the photo shows what appears to be a spinnaker sock. If it's truly like new, $300. is a great deal, and, if it includes a sock, it's a steal. [Just click on the underlined text. The link messed up the format, but I think I fixed it.] https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4646484178728407/?ref=product_details&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story _type=top_picks&tracking=%7B%22qid%22%3A%22-7392109925474259100%22%2C%22mf_story_key%22%3A%22959959848395059866%2 2%2C%22commerce_rank_obj%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22target_id%5C%22%3A9599598483 95059866%2C%5C%22target_type%5C%22%3A6%2C%5C%22primary_position%5C%22 %3A0%2C%5C%22ranking_signature%5C%22%3A1408 109988680826880%2C%5C%22commerce_channel%5C%22%3A501%2C%5C%22value%5C %22%3A0%2C%5C%22upsell_type%5C%22%3A21%2C%5C%22grouping_info%5C%22%3A null%7D%22%7D

Steve Milby	Posted - 11/21/2021 : 13:06:13 I'm easily confused when it comes to numbers and decimals, but isn't 0.25 of a foot (or 1/4th of a foot) 3"? Under the C25 racing rules, the tall and standard rig boats can use different size spinnakers. Here are the applicable rules: (1) Luff - The length of the luffs shall be taken as the distance between the highest point of the sail [i.e. at the head of the sail] and the foot [i.e. at the clew] measured around the edge of the luff. The dimension shall not exceed: Tall Rig - 31' 1"; Standard Rig - 29' 3 1/2". [parentheses are mine] (2) Girth - The maximum shall be measured across the widest point of the sail between points equidistant from the head. The dimension shall not exceed 18' 10 3/4". This spinnaker appears to be appropriate for a standard rig C25, but small for a tall rig.
dmpilc	Posted - 11/21/2021 : 12:14:06 Tall rig C25 "I" = 31', you say Capri 25 "I" = 30.75. Difference is 0.25" not 3". If a Capri spinnaker, it should fit a tall rig C25 easily. I don't know the answer to this, but do the the class rules for C25 and C25T allow for different spinnaker sizes?
Steve Milby	Posted - 11/18/2021 : 15:46:02 quote: Originally posted by jmadd Hmm. Do those numbers match a Catalina 25? The foot matches the Capri 25 but luff on a Capri is 30' and change. Don't know, but the mainsail luff of a C25 Tall rig is 1' longer than a Capri 25 mainsail luff. If it will fit a Capri 25, it should also fit a Catalina 25 T. The Standard rig "I" is 29'. The Tall rig "I" is 31.' The "I" dimension for a Capri 25 is 30.75 (3" shorter than the Catalina 25 T). The last I checked, at least some sailmakers were making tall and standard rig spinnakers the same size. A prospective buyer should check whether it will fit their tall or standard rig boat. Someone here probably knows for sure.
