Bowman 49 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Bowman 49?
From A$4,580.40 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$4,775.10 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$5,924.60. Every mainsail is cut to the Bowman 49 rig (P 14.94 m, E 4.27 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Bowman 49 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 17.07 m, J 5.79 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$5,978.50.
What size spinnaker fits a Bowman 49?
A Size 10 (118 m²) asymmetric suits the Bowman 49 fore-triangle. It starts at A$3,338.50, or A$4,390.10 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Bowman 49?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (14.6 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (11.2 m²). That makes our Maxi (12 m²) storm jib and Large (10.8 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.
