NM 38S sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a NM 38S?
From A$4,306.50 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$4,543 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$5,557.20. Every mainsail is cut to the NM 38S rig (P 14.20 m, E 5.25 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a NM 38S need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 14.17 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$3,043.70.
What size spinnaker fits a NM 38S?
A Size 6 (75 m²) asymmetric suits the NM 38S 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 NM 38S?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (10.0 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (13.1 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.
