Question: I want to fit a 42-foot luff length asymmetric spinnaker to a 37-foot cutter with a masthead rig and 46 foot forestay. Is the sail too small and what are the normal sizings for asymmetrics?

Thanks,
Peter

Answer: Hi Peter, a custom-built Gennaker for your boat would 2-3' longer on the luff dimension, but the 42' sail will be a perfectly good fit for your boat.
