Sonata 8 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Sonata 8?
From A$1,359.60 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$1,505.90 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$1,530.10. Every mainsail is cut to the Sonata 8 rig (P 8.37 m, E 3.10 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Sonata 8 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 8.05 m, J 2.50 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$837.10.
What size spinnaker fits a Sonata 8?
A Size 00 (27 m²) asymmetric suits the Sonata 8 fore-triangle. It starts at A$896.50, or A$1,421.20 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Sonata 8?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (3.2 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (4.5 m²). That makes our Extra Small (3 m²) storm jib the right size. No stock trysail is small enough for this rig, so we quote one to fit.
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.
