Rhodes 48 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Rhodes 48?
From A$6,803.50 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$7,089.50 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$8,867.10. Every mainsail is cut to the Rhodes 48 rig (P 15.16 m, E 6.45 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Rhodes 48 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 13.41 m, J 5.05 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$4,099.70.
What size spinnaker fits a Rhodes 48?
A Size 7 (83 m²) asymmetric suits the Rhodes 48 fore-triangle. It starts at A$2,352.90, or A$3,227.40 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Rhodes 48?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (9.0 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (17.1 m²). That makes our Large (7.5 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.
