Hey guys!
Just got my computer back up and running! I don't know what happened; it would shut itself down when booting
up.
Anyway, I looked at Mike's email and the 4.3/Wave method of measuring the mainsail. I see girths and leech/luff numbers but no sail area calculation. We have to keep in mind this is a "any configuration" class which means you could have a very small mainsail, huge jib and a bigger spin/reacher! What I propose is a small get together at Spring Fever and gather ideas about how we can calculate sail area. I will get with Sabre and bring a sailmakers' method for calculating main/jib/spin-reacher areas.
I knew this would eventually come up and didn't want to get too complicated before we even hit the water. Baby steps as they say!
Thoughts??
