I'm interested in acquiring a storm sail for my CP23 but am not sure of the proper dimensions. Anyone have a storm sail that works well and would be willing to share dimensions and possibly suggest a good source for purchasing one?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,
I had a heavy-weather Yankee made to balance the boat with the first reef in the main. It is not actually a true storm sail, but has worked well up to (at least) 28kt. The sail-maker recommended against a true storm sail. A Yankee is a small sail, so the price was relatively low. JSI manufactured it and may still have my records from 1996. Our first-reefed main was about 60.5 square feet. I provided the following dimensions to JSI:
J length: 6' 6"
luff: 21' 6"
leech: 15' 11"
foot: 9' 10"
The sail maker might have taken some liberties on the actual finished design.

Ernie,
Thanks for the info. I will contact JSI and see what they can do for me.
