C26 mast bend

Post by Gary w/C26 & LS13 »

I’m trying to buy new sails and the sailmaker wants to know the amount of mast bend. My standing rigging is currently slack. How much prebend should I put into the mast. I do have an adjustable backstay to increase bend even more if conditions warrant it. Can anyone recommend sailmakers?

Turns out this is a non-issue. I’m having my sails made by Mack Sails in Stuart Florida. Since I have added a backstay adjuster. I can bend the mast to suit the sailing conditions.
