Hunter 49 sails: questions

How much is a new mainsail for a Hunter 49?

From A$9,189.40 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$9,505.10 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$11,793.10. Every mainsail is cut to the Hunter 49 rig (P 17.15 m, E 7.20 m) with two reefs.

What size genoa does a Hunter 49 need?

We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 16.65 m, J 5.03 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$5,064.40.

What size spinnaker fits a Hunter 49?

A Size 9 (106 m²) asymmetric suits the Hunter 49 fore-triangle. It starts at A$3,036, or A$4,016.10 with a dousing sock.

What size storm jib and trysail fit a Hunter 49?

The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (13.9 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (21.6 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.
