Main sail measurements

   Your setup sounds great. I had a terrible time with the initial inner haulers but it may have just been the way it was setup - bad angles - since this isn't what Hanse intended. We couldn't point or get the right sail shape at all. Found it a lot easier once I put the tracks in place but if you're happy with the way you've set it up then that's excellent!.
As for sheeting the jib when using the cabin top track, we route it through the cabin top car, then down through the car on the genoa side tracks and then to the side block and up to the winch. Pretty straight forward.

Cheers

	Hello Sorry but I speak with a translator. I would like to buy a sail before "a medium genoa" because the autovireur lacks power in small weather. I would like to know if someone would have the dimensions of the hoist, the fall, the border for a maximum genois? Thank you in advance lonlon

	It seems the J dimension provided by Hanse may not be correct for all 400s. I have checked my own 2007 build, and another(2009 build), and both have J=2.35m not 2.62m.
