| Hi I've recently bought a vintage Merlin and I'm looking to buy a reasonable condition Dacron main for a tall rig. Anyone have one that they might be willing to part with? I'm based at Thames Sailing Club. Thanks in advance! Ben

In those days rigs were referred to by this measurement in feet, to the nearest 6 inches, so rigs were 21', 21'6", 22' etc. Tolerance on lower band height w.r.t. sheerline was smaller then, so practically speaking the measurement above determines the luff length. Hope this helps.
