Ofcourse, if one orders a new spi one can notify the sailmaker of which position you want to sheet it from and he will make it such that it won't flutter.



My sailmaker requested that I measure three sides of the triangle making up the spi and he would custum make the spi to that.



-1- length block on pole to hound on mast.

-2- length hound on mast to sheet block on block (Either tramp/stay. mainbeam/ rearbeam or whatever.

-3- length sheet block to block on tip of pole.



So question becomes where do YOU want to sheet it from ?



C.Q. Landenberger is indeed a good sailmaker we forgot to include.



Personally I would also like to add :



RedHead sails (Australia) I've heard many good things about him and his Taipan sails.and I found him to be very willing to discuss sails and optimize them on requests given.



I have the contact info when anyone is interested.

Maybe I should make a webpage of it.
