This video describes how to measure for a custom catamaran jib with a self tacking jib track setup. The recommended luff length is 18′ 4″ and we chose a point 60% up the luff to determine the sheeting angle because this sail is such high aspect. Please feel free to call us (805) 479-6122 or email sails@slosailandcanvas.com with any questions.
