Curious if anyone with Hanse 345 has measurements for self tacking headsail. I am measuring tomorrow morning and would like some reference numbers. Thanks in advance!

Hi.  Bought new sails last year from North Sails.  The attached file gives I and J dimensions for a 105% jib.  I have a self tacker.  A little smaller.  I goes from 13.92m to 13.400m and J goes from 3.92m to 3.880m with self tacker.  uploads/8287/Hanse_34R_sail_and_deckplan.pdf

Some more details from North Sails on self tacker.  Fit perfectly first time.

That file is for a 341 not a 345 and I am sure there is a difference.  Note difference in LOA.

I noted that - although I think it is very close specs wise. Also it reinforces that my measurements are at least in the ballpark.

If anyone looks at this thread these were the measurements based on the original Elvstom 95% self-tacking jib and the measurements of the headstay that I submitted to my sailmaker.  I will update later if the sail works out well:
A.   38.79 feet (head to feeder)
B.   42.13 feet (head to tack attachment ring on furler)
C.   43.04 feet to deck along headstay (top of furler surface is 42.46 feet) 

Luff:  42.13 feet
Leech: 38.63 feet
Foot: 11.13 feet (middle of clew board - 11.5 feet to farthest grommet on clew board)

Sorry for it being in feet.
