Adams 8 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Adams 8?
From A$1,952.50 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$2,117.50 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$2,642.20. Every mainsail is cut to the Adams 8 rig (P 10.50 m, E 3.53 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Adams 8 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 8.56 m, J 2.88 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$1,086.80.
What size spinnaker fits a Adams 8?
A Size 0 (31 m²) asymmetric suits the Adams 8 fore-triangle. It starts at A$1,020.80, or A$1,545.50 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Adams 8?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (3.7 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (6.5 m²). That makes our Extra Small (3 m²) storm jib and Small (6.1 m²) trysail the right sizes.
How do I check my boat matches these measurements?
Measure I, J, P and E and compare them with the rig table. We confirm every measurement with you before the sail is cut.
