Subject: [frers-list]Where to buy a suitable tarp for a Frers33 ?
Message-ID: <502CA454.60502@bellsouth.net>
What are the groups suggestions for the sources for proper tarps for..
1- a hot humid climate, and
2- a colder drier climate
and generally, how to avoid problems with outdoor storage ?
Thanks again for all the help,
Courtney Thomas

Sails can be different measurements, particularly depending on the area in
which you sail. Western LIS, for example, jibs are allowed to be one
dimension, and used to be, these boats were penalized for this dimension in
Boston area. So you do need to know your sail measurements for a proper
rating.

Subject: [frers-list]Sail Measurements
Hi everyone, I'm new to the list and have a strange request that is time sensitive. Does anyone have a phrf cert with sail measurements on them? I signed up for a race and they want a phrf cert and I'm not certain I can obtain one in time/get my sails to a sailmaker, oh, today, to get them measured/ etc. Any help?
I hope this finds you all well.
Best,

Hi Michael:
Hopefully you are already rated and entered, but you shouldn't need to =
take your sails to a sailmaker to be measured. There is a diagram of =
where the measurements are taken on the same website where you found =
Wolverine's PHRF certificate under Regs, Defs, Adjs. This is not rocket =
science, I measured the sails for my first boat with a tape measure in =
the parking lot. The main measurement I would be concerned about is the =
LP (Distance perpendicular from the luff to the clew of the jib). As =
Joyce mentioned, Wolverine has a 155% jib, and your sail might be =
different. Even this is not necessary if it is labeled 155% on the sail =
bag. If your boat was perviously raced with your current sails, it it =
pretty safe to assume they are within the class dimensions. Also some =
PHRF regions give you a credit for roller furling jibs if that is how =
you are rigged. Check with your measurer when you submit the form. In =
the future you can ask for measurement certificates when you buy new =
sails.=20
And good luck in the race! Let us all know how it goes.
