Thought you were selling a Mark 2 main. Sadly they are not the same

It is - mast height 10m
I’ll measure it and let you know exactly what’s what

To be certain, the mast on a Mark 1 is 31'4" and a Mark 2 33'6". If you have the bigger mast, the Mast to top of boom for Mk1 is 26'2" and Mark 2 28'2". 2 foot x 10'6" is a lot of lost power methinks?

Quite possibly
That’s interesting
I haven’t seen Sabre mk1 yet myself
I’m not at the boat so can’t measure boom height but
The measurements of my mainsail are

Mainsail
2800mm foot
8900mm leach
8320mm luff

I hate to rain on your parade, but I am fairly certain that is a Mark 2 sail and will be too large for a mark 1. Empiric data from Alan Hill shows the leech at 29'.45" = on calculation 8.976m
