| 2007.1 | Time to get out the protractor and graph paper | STAR::KENNEY | | Tue Mar 09 1993 13:31 | 13 |

Find out the sheeting angle for the jib and draw that out on a
piece of paper. I would draw a rough outline of the deck edge, and
cabin top also. The sail maker should be able to tell you what
sheeting angle the sail was cut for. If he cannot tell you then find
another sail maker. You need to have enough adjustment in the track so
that you can adjust the angle around to adjust the twist in the sail
for power or to depower it.

Ps. A recent sailing world had a discussion on optimizing the
layout hardware on the deck.

| Give Sabre a call. I've ALWAYS found their customer service department
to be more than helpful. I called to ask about a construction detail on
the Sabre 30 and they sent me a couple of polaroids of the area is
question. I'm sure they'll be glad to send you the specifications
and/or drawings. They still have the jigs for the '28!
I don't have their number handy but they're located in South Casco
Maine, area code 207 - information has their number,

| re 0.1 The one sailmaker that has given me a sheeting angle, has also
told me exactly how many inches abaft the chainplates I will need to
set my fairlead. My biggest dilema is how far from the cabin top to
mount the track. I would also like to be able to use the inboard track
to sheet the 115% genoa that I now have, if possible. As I said in 0.0,
the boat has a problem pointing with the present toerail positioned
fairleads. That means that the track will need to extend aft, far
enough, to accomodate that larger jib also.
re 0.2 I have also had positive experience dealing with Sabre customer
service. I think that I will give them a call.

| re .4 I called Sabre Yachts today and received a FAX a short time
later. The FAX contains an installation procedure with drawings and
all of the dimensions that I will need to do the job right.
"Ask and you shall receive".

| I would also strongly encourage you to call Sabre. They have a Customer
Service Rep named Mike Plourde who is outstanding! Sabre is not very
well know out here in California, so there aren't many around. Without
any local owners to compare notes with, I've often called Sabre when I
need information like you are seeking. Mike Plourde has always been
willing to research answers to questions that he doesn't himself.

| 2007.7 | Make sure the sails fit right | STAR::KENNEY | | Fri Mar 12 1993 16:53 | 9 |

Please make sure that the sail maker is aware of where the track
being relocated too. If he cut the sail based on the old one you will
not be happy. Getting sails that fit your boat well requires detailed
knowledge about how your boat is rigged, and how you sail. A sail cut
for a 15 degree sheeting angle that is used at 11 degree angle is going
work awful.
