The F18 rule is pretty detailed but works well to control the "creativity" some people seem to find with sail measurement systems.
They seem to want a lot of development. 320 lb boat weight and a max sail area of xxx for the sail plan.
I would think any standard method used by sail makers would work.
I would love to hear how the sailmakers will manage the super stiff telephone pole that is the N20 carbon stick. Can you get the range needed without pulling the sail apart in a year.
Perhaps one of the load path sail cloths could let you bend the mast enough.
If you guys get any measurements on the bend of the sticks... it would be interesting to compare with the alu N20 stick and the F18HT riba sticks or the Tornado carbon stick.
Always looking to learn something.
