Hi Fernando,

According to da vinci's golden ratio, the ratio of ground navel to navel head is as 1.618 : 1

in my body it is 110+72, but I believe I have short legs.

the minimum ao length for a rapier to be a rapier is 112cm ( JP Puype- van Mauritz naar Munster)

I can live with shortened 20cm or more.

best,
Jasper
