I am sure a simple matter of contacting pretty well any sailmaker. They can usually come up with stock rig dimensions and design a sail. Symmetrical or asym will be up to you and you sailing preferences and sailing ground. Personally, I would shop for a older used unit and try one first. If it suits you and you want more, rig the boat properly for it and order up a big ticket unit....size and style based on previous experience with the cheap one. I found four internet based outfits that sell used stuff. I love to get old sails, recut them and play around. Over the years, folks have just given me old sails. Have fun.

I see allot of discussion but I haven't seen any comments about the lack of a back-stay and if a runner is needed. I'm not sure if the dropped aft shrouds are sufficient, or if only up to a predetermined wind force. I wouldn't mind flying one myself too but I have just always assumed there wasn't enough mast support. Even flown from the fractional height of the head-stay I have tended to think the forward pressure from one of these would be too great. Ashley T.
