CT 56 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a CT 56?
From A$7,275.40 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$7,536.10 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$9,486.40. Every mainsail is cut to the CT 56 rig (P 17.95 m, E 5.84 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a CT 56 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 19.45 m, J 7.32 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$9,308.20.
What size spinnaker fits a CT 56?
A Size 13 (165 m²) asymmetric suits the CT 56 fore-triangle. It starts at A$4,704.70, or A$5,990.60 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a CT 56?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (18.9 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (18.4 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.
