I have no experience with K-H or any other loft when it comes to sails for the Macs, but there was a recent thread on the subject (one of many, actually) that may get you started.

The KH C3000 for the :macm: is not compatible with the :macx: as the :macm: mast is 2' taller. The KH C2000 works fine-not sure why you need a full batten sail -- not sure about the space shuttle or the color of your nose either :?
