I would guess 29'10"
the sailmaker may have had to adjust for the backstay.

I submitted:
29'7" Max Luff
10'9" Max foot
12'11" Backstay Position (mast to backstay)
5" Tack Setback
2 1/2" Tack Set up )top of boom to tack fitting
6" Mast Groove (top of boom to mast gate)
2'6" Reef Hook SetBack (mast to reed hook)

I am pretty sure I do not have a stock C&C boom so your measurements may differ.  I wasn't able to sail with the new sail last night but once I get it out on the lake and able to make adjustments it may very well be the correct luff.  I was out of McLube and the slugs were a little hard to slide up which could have caused the missing inches on the luff as well.

The form they email you has lots of pictures of what and how to measure as well as a youtube channel that walks you through it.

Mark,
The new mainsail from precision sails came in yesterday.
It looks great.  I installed it last night and all went well.  I ordered the 300 series dacron with reinforced corners, 4 partial battens and one reef point.  $671.11 + Shipping to New Orleans $53.95 = $725.06.  If you ask they will even break down to 3 payments at 0% interest.

You have to supply your own measurements but the form and videos makes it pretty easy.  I was off by about 3 inches on my main luff.  I measured 29'7" and the internet states P at 29'. Everything else fit perfect.

I just ordered from http://www.precisionsailloft.com/ the sails have not arrived yet said 4 weeks but the price was really good for a cruising main dacron $725 includes radial corners and shipping.

I will let you know when I get the sail.

I am having my 1974 MII painted this week and contacted South Shore Yachts to ask for an Awlgrip color similar to an off-white original color offered back in the 70's he told me they used to use Smoke White but had no idea what color that would translate today in Awgrips color wheel. 

Anyone cross this bridge yet while fixing-up their boat?  I searched the forum and did not see another post.

Thanks in advance.
