Jeanneau 40 sails: questions

How much is a new mainsail for a Jeanneau 40?

From A$4,187.70 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$4,404.40 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$5,397.70. Every mainsail is cut to the Jeanneau 40 rig (P 15.09 m, E 4.79 m) with two reefs.

What size genoa does a Jeanneau 40 need?

We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 15.24 m, J 4.24 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$3,271.40.

What size spinnaker fits a Jeanneau 40?

A Size 6 (75 m²) asymmetric suits the Jeanneau 40 fore-triangle. It starts at A$2,125.20, or A$2,964.50 with a dousing sock.

What size storm jib and trysail fit a Jeanneau 40?

The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (11.6 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (12.6 m²). That makes our Extra Large (9.5 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.
