Hi Johannes, here is the data for the leech and foot for the 105% genoa which is sailed on the short genoa tracks according to the Dehler owner's handbook: Leech: 9.00 m Foot 3.13 m The luff is identical to the self-tacking jib at 9.52 m The sail area with the dimensions is 14.9 m² I bought new sails a few years ago, but from UK in Flensburg. The sailmaker came on board and took the measurements again to be on the safe side. Good luck... Peter

Hi Gerrit, when I took over my 28 S, I also thought about the arrangement of the shrouds. In the end, I stuck with the arrangement of upper shrouds at the front and lower shrouds at the back. The main difference is that the pressure over the spreaders on the mast and therefore the pre-bending is slightly higher with the same upper shroud tension in the arrangement specified by Dehler. But this is probably a rather academic discussion and both variants work... P.D.

I have a digital version of the owner's handbook, I can send it. The upper shrouds 5 mm and lower shrouds 6 mm, OW front and UW rear are fine as they are
