[quote=texastuma][quote=kson]I have a 20' trimaran with a beachcat-sized rig. I need new sails, my jib is torn and my main is 25 years old and pretty blown out. So I thought I'd look for some beachcat sails in decent shape for the main at least, but most ads just list the kind of boat, not the sail dimensions. The dimensions of my main are:
Luff 26' 7"
Foot 8'
Fully battened like a beachcat, moderate roach.
The boom and gooseneck are kind of janky too, so if a new sail had a slightly shorter foot that would be ok, I'll build a new boom. More roach or a square top would be ok.
What classes should I be looking at for a 26' to 26' 7" luff on a main, anyone know off the top of their heads?
And relatedly, once I get a main I need a new jib which I think I just have to have made, the jib is a lot bigger than a beachcat jib. Who would you go to in the Houston/Galveston area for a new jib for a boat like this?

One thing you could also do is just scan the SCHRS database: [url]https://schrs.com/ratings.html[/url] VLM is your mainsail luff dimensions.
Looks like the P18-2 is your best option with a luff of 8.01m. For the jib, the P19 and Tornado Classic are the same jib. The Hobie 18 is larger and the Nacra 6.0 is even larger. This just depends on where you r leads are and the set-up on what size you can go with. I run a N6.0 jib on my modified 18-2, so it does work.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by texastuma on Jun 07, 2023 - 03:24 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
