Macwester Rown Main Sail Size For Washing Quote Purposes

[alexrunic]

Dose any one know the approx size for a main sail for Macwester Rowan 22 I know the total sail area is meant to be 225ft2 / 20.9m2 according to the Macwester owners club website.

Also can any one recommend a company for cleaning the main sail

I used Kemp for cleaning, immaculate job.

Any sailmaker worth their salt will have dimensions for the rigs of most popular boats on file, from long before 'database' days.

If you contact a company and they haven't, 'Yellow alert, Shields Up' ( around your wallet) !

Size is not so important - price is by weight. Kemps price is £4.1 kilo minimum £50, which should easily do your mainsail. Look for a local sailmaker to organise - they often act as collection point, or may even do it themselves.

By laying my sails flat on the grass outdoors in suitable weather conditions and carefully brushing with

and then again CAREFULLY rinsing clean with a power washer, I found the results were quite satisfactory. I hung up the sails to dry, either on a clothes line or suspended by lines from trees. I was happy with the finished clean sails and it was done quite cheaply.
I,ve also got hold of a heavy duty sewing machine which I now use to do minor repairs and maintenace to the sails. It all saves quite a bit of money.
