Hi there
I recently bought a new jib off ebay for my 5.2. The jib I was using for the Nacra was not correct for the boat. The new jib came in and is quite a bit bigger than the one I was using. I can't put it on the boat for a while to see if it fits.

Can anyone provide me with the measurements for a stock jib? It would be a huge help.

Thanks

Well the stock jib is overlapping so expect it to be really big. I would guess that you are okay, however if no reply by tonight I will get mine out and measure

If no luck, PM ERICE, over in Japan. I just dropped him off a new 5.2 jib. They are about 1' shorter than a 5.7 jib, if nobody measures, I can measure my 5.7.

Golfdad,
I would appreiciate it. It seems to be much longer along the luff. Looking at pics of the boat with the old jib, it looks like there won't be room.

I may be wrong (hope so). But it's gonna be weeks before I can raise it to find out.

Pics are here : http://thebeachcats.com/forums/viewtopic/topic/12934

Thanks again

Ok Ok.. Busy day in the winery today but if nobody steps up I will get back tomorrow. Too bad our fly boy is out of the USA and.. I am supprised that he does not carry that info in his wallet (or stuck in his underware) with his important stuff.. Got 3 5.2 jibs here to check things out here .. BUT.. Been going to the dark side lately and have 2 new(ish) H-17s to play with this spring.. Well.. Not NEW.. 600$ AND 800$ each.. Craigs strikes again.. There is a steal locally now for the west coast folks. A h-18 under 1000$.. Chris.. I have 3 of those small plates on the referbed hulls to help with the mounting. Fourth is gonzo.. Have no idea why the guy just pulled one.. FYI Your email ended up in my spam. Will send a response with a better address.. Still hoping to get out yet ONE MOR TIME this year.. P.S. Might have a extra jib available if the EBAY one is not right. Cheers Hal

Golfdad75,
Thanks for the help. My fears are confirmed, it's at least a foot too big each way.

The measurement were a big help. I'm sure it would have been more difficult to return in 3 weeks.
