could i suggest that you take a look at some of the genoa's Hanse after-sales dept advertise for a H371, which might have a very slightly shorter rig, but still would suffice as an overlapping genoa, just losing 4 Sq M.

this would be cost effective and they are well organised.

Tks for your suggestion, I'll check that. I look for a tri radial cut, made of hydranet or similar material. It is not a problem for me to loose some few square meters, the target is not to race frenquently.

I have also founded several that could be suitable in France, but need to be sure about dimensions.

As per my checkings max luff =15m with furler and max foot 6.20m (145% genoa).

If somebody could confirm it I would feel more easy in buying a seconf hand genoa that I believe suitable - but not 100% sure.

Don't consider measurements of the 371 suitable for a 370 !!
I unfortunately bought a second hand jib from a 371, with statements of the owner after Hanse's dealer that it was similar, and it is not at all : at least 1 m shorter on forestay, and the clew much too high : in brief, unsuitable as a jib.

Ok Thanks for the information!
I guess that a self tacker has to be precisely built for one boat.
On the other hand I believe it's possible to find a suitable second hand genoa.
