Reefing Note: To reef the Mainsail required rolling the sail around the boom and changing to a smaller jib size. Many sandpiper owners have upgraded their sails to include fixed reef points, the use of a jib furling, and converting the mainsail from rope tracking to slug tracking in the mast. The first set of reef points in the mainsail would be just below the lowest batten about 3 feet from the foot (along the boom) of the sail.

Photo Note: If you look closely at the sandpiper photo you can see the outline of 5 sails.

A Sandpiper Owner hull # 1192 measured his sails and produced the sail dimensions below. He also cautions that his sails were older and a bit stretched. Just Click on the Photo below to enlarge it to "see and all his measurements" and "how he measured".

The following data is from Mauri Pro Sailing, Sail Rig Dimensions for a Sandpiper. Note: It's odd that the Mauri data does not match the Sandpiper manufactured sail area size, nor the sail shown in image above, hence could be a custom sail..

BOAT
I J P E ISP JSP
SANDPIPER 565 23.5 7.0 18.0 8.0 23.5 7.0
Sandpiper 565 MainSail (P x E)/2 = (18 x 8)/2 = 72 Area + 10% racing 79.2
Sandpiper 565 100% Jib (I x J)/2 = (23.5 x 7)/2 = 82.25 Area
(caution: mast is 22 feet tall and sits on top of the raised cabin.)
Hence 79.2 + 82.25 = 161.4.

"P" is the luff length of the mainsail, measured along the aft face of the mast from the top of the boom to the highest point that the mainsail can be hoisted or black band.

"E" is the foot length of the mainsail, measured along the boom from the aft face of the mast to the outermost point on the boom to which the main can be pulled or to the black band.

"I" is measured along the front of mast from the genoa halyard to the main deck. The main deck is where the deck would be if there were no deckhouse.

"J" is the base of the foretriangle measured along the deck from the headstay pin to the front of the mast.
