I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND THE "I" OF 28 FEET IS CORRECT AS WELL AS A "J" 
OF 9.5 FEET.

THE LUFF OF HEAD SAIL IS MEASURED ALONG THE FORE STAY. USING THE ABOVE 
DIMENSIONS IN A RIGHT TRIANGLE, THE FORE STAY LENGTH IS ABOUT 29' 7" 
FEET. THIS IS WITHOUT MAST RAKE.

THE LUFF OF MY GENOA IS 28' 6".

I RAN INTO ALL THE ABOVE WHILE REPLACING A FORE STAY. MY FORE STAY IS 
ABOUT 29' 6" . THIS INCLUDES CABLE AND ALL HARDWARE BETWEEN DECK AND 
MAST. MY FORE STAY WITHOUT TURNBUCKLE AND ETC IS 28' 6 13/16".
