Slides, foot, reefs & battens
Luff slides. The standard slide for Catalina 250 is selected in the Luff Slides menu, with a photo. Different mast, or not sure? Choose “Not sure - we’ll match your mast” and we’ll confirm with you before cutting; a photo of one of your old slides helps.
Bolt rope or loose foot. A bolt-rope foot slides into the groove in your boom. A loose foot is attached only at the tack and clew. Not sure? Leave it on “Not sure” and we’ll recommend the right one for your boat.
Reefs. The first choice in the reef menu is what comes with the sail; add more reefs there.
Battens. The first choice in the batten menu is the standard batten layout for this sail; add full battens there.
Sail numbers. Pick how many per side and the color, then type your numbers in the comments box at checkout.

Our inshore sails carry a 3-year warranty; our offshore sails carry a 5-year warranty.
