Islander 28 (SF rig??)

[skkeith]

I am looking for a main for my 1975 Islander 28. Measuring my existing sail, I have roughly E=9'1" and P=30'10". I am finding 'SF Rig' sails around which are smaller. What exactly is an Islander 28 (SF rig)? Any idea who might stock an Islander 28 regular rig main?

fx sails has new ones for just under 800.00

And the st rig stands for Sf bay short rig.
The Sf rig is approx 1 ft shorter in both directions.if you can get one in good shape cheap it will work just fine.

Thank you for your advice. The original is fully battened, should I replace with a fully battened main?

are you planning to race the boat regularly? Then yes but if you just want to sail then not needed partial battans are fine ( that's all I have ever had on any of my cruising boats.)
