Bowman 48 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Bowman 48?
From A$6,464.70 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$6,712.20 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$8,416.10. Every mainsail is cut to the Bowman 48 rig (P 16.76 m, E 5.52 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Bowman 48 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 18.75 m, J 5.64 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$6,393.20.
What size spinnaker fits a Bowman 48?
A Size 11 (133 m²) asymmetric suits the Bowman 48 fore-triangle. It starts at A$3,793.90, or A$4,914.80 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Bowman 48?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (17.6 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (16.2 m²). That makes our Maxi (12 m²) storm jib and Maxi (15.5 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.
