Farr 280 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Farr 280?
From A$2,465.10 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$2,655.40 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$3,366. Every mainsail is cut to the Farr 280 rig (P 11.69 m, E 4.14 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Farr 280 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 11.36 m, J 3.15 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$1,579.60.
What size spinnaker fits a Farr 280?
A Size 2 (43 m²) asymmetric suits the Farr 280 fore-triangle. It starts at A$1,406.90, or A$2,036.10 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Farr 280?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (6.5 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (8.5 m²). That makes our Medium (5.7 m²) storm jib and Medium (7.8 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.
