I am sure a simple matter of contacting pretty well any sailmaker. They can
usually come up with stock rig dimensions and design a sail. Symmetrical or
asym will be up to you and you sailing preferences and sailing ground.
Personally, I would shop for a older used unit and try one first. If it
suits you and you want more, rig the boat properly for it and order up a big
ticket unit....size and style based on previous experience with the cheap
one.
I found four internet based outfits that sell used stuff. I love to get old
sails, recut them and play around. Over the years, folks have just given me
old sails.
Have fun.
Cheers, Tim D.

I'm curious about kites for the 15's. I see allot of discussion but I
haven't seen any comments about the lack of a back-stay and if a runner is
needed. I'm not sure if the dropped aft shrouds are sufficient, or if only
up to a predetermined wind force.
I wouldn't mind flying one myself too but I have just always assumed there
wasn't enough mast support. Even flown from the fractional height of the
head-stay I have tended to think the forward pressure from one of these
would be too great.

I had an asymmetrical spinnaker on my first M15 "Joy" and it did
indeed pull like a Kenworth in a decent breeze, hull speed plus, and
what a rooster tail wake!
