Howard,
I use the deminsions shown on the Monty site, usually.........however, we
will make the sails to any configuration you want. We will copy exactly what
you send us as old sails......we will make them full or not so full or even
"flat" if that's what you want......we are "custom" sailmakers.........
Your statement if what usually creates problems for us in dealing with new
customers.....because there are a mirid of designs and specs. being used on the
same boats......
The standard sail for the Montys is based on what we can find on the
site..both for the 15 and 17...SO, to say we can make you an "official" and
documented set (I don't know of any) for a Monty would not be possible......you
(and others here) just need to tell me what you want, as to specs......etc, and
we will follow them as close as possible and make you a GOOD set of sails at a
reasonable price.

Bill:
What are you using as your "pattern" for these sails? I ask as I have
sails, including the original Reggie Armstrong's, from 4 sailmakers and
they all differ in quality, cut, shape, etc.
In my opinion, only one of my 5 new sails perform as well as the
original "Reggie" sails, but the RA's are blown out....literally! I
was told they were not fit for anything but painter's drop clothes, but
I saved them anyway, hoping to find someone who could build some exact
duplicates. Mainly, the main. The one I have now is a full batten job.
The boat heels more, but doesn't go as fast as with the old RA blown
out sails.
