Morava - Special Strom Jib Plan and JJ Taylor Mark VI Sail Plan Circa 19831312 viewsI came across this in an old Morava Log Book. My father had a storm jib made for Morava - different specifications then JJ Taylor - but it provides the figures for all the sails. The is approx. 1983. Note the figure reversal for no.1 and no. 2 genoas.
