(1) do you want a standard goat sail with full battens (I would say no - skip the battens)
(2) do you want reef grommets, and where do you want them - better to have a set below the original first reef, for example, which was high on the sail
(3) do you want a cross-cut sail (like their photo) or a vertical cut sail - if I could change my sail, I would pick cross-cut
(4) do you want a loose foot or lashed foot, if you opt for loose foot, then you can skip the foot grommets, (or just move them to the new first reef line).
You could also ask them to extend the foot a bit then to overlap the boom (foot roach).
