Im responding to "the Redhead's" comment about her mainsail measuring in short even though it was made by the same loft. My understanding of most sail lofts today is that they have single site which cuts the panels and then stitches (or bonds) them into a "blank". However, they leave the edges unfinished but oversized, then ship it to the local loft for final finishing of the edges as well as the installation of headboard, cringles and boltrope/slugs. The idea is that the local loft is supposed to measure the specific rig on that individual boat and make accomodations as needed for the final sail. It sounds like in this case, the Miami loft might have been a little too aggressive in trimming and finishing the sail.
