JV 56 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a JV 56?
From A$13,689.50 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$14,060.20 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$17,746.30. Every mainsail is cut to the JV 56 rig (P 22.60 m, E 8.51 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a JV 56 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 21.42 m, J 6.12 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$8,631.70.
What size spinnaker fits a JV 56?
A Size 13 (165 m²) asymmetric suits the JV 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 JV 56?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (22.9 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (33.7 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.
