Contest 50 sails: questions

How much is a new mainsail for a Contest 50?

From A$9,131.10 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$9,421.50 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$11,715. Every mainsail is cut to the Contest 50 rig (P 18.70 m, E 6.55 m) with two reefs.

What size genoa does a Contest 50 need?

We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 18.90 m, J 6.20 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$7,088.40.

What size spinnaker fits a Contest 50?

A Size 12 (148 m²) asymmetric suits the Contest 50 fore-triangle. It starts at A$4,249.30, or A$5,449.40 with a dousing sock.

What size storm jib and trysail fit a Contest 50?

The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (17.9 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (21.4 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.
