Mainsail for yawl

 

My old main finally blew out on my #226 T27 yawl.
Can't afford a new one and have been searching the used lofts.
Anyone got a lead?
 

I know a sailor from South Africa with a Sailrite machine could probably make you whatever you need if you get him a good used sail. Green Cove Springs Florida. I spoke with him a few times, pretty sure hes qualified. I'd be happy to help as I'm off for a bit working on my Allied. You could do the same in your area--find someone who has a Sailrite or equivalent.?
Regards, Rob.

If you're interested in a used sail let me know.?
I have an extra mail sail that came with the boat.
Haven't even taken it out of it's sail bag yet, but if this is a possibility for you I'll lay it out on my driveway and take some photos.
Just occurred to me - are the dimensions the same for yawl / single pole?
 

Probably not, I'm assuming that's part of the issue.

Try Bacon and Associats in Annapolis. A fine second hand / consignment / yacht chandlery / new and used

Good luck,

I believe the yawl is a bout 6 inches shorter on the foot and 1 foot shorter on the luff, so it may be reasonable to cut a sloop main down
?by cutting about a foot off the bottom and maybe tweaking the length of the bottom panel.?
That is based on the published dimensions.
