sail area


 

can someone confirm what the 100% jib sail area? I saw one listing stating the sail area was 222 sq ft. given that the total sail plan with 100% jib is 350 - 375 (seems to vary based upon source) - that would make the mains'l only 130-150 sq ft - the main seems much bigger than that...

According to page 20 of my 1987 Owner's Manual, the mainsail area is 172 sq ft, and the class jib (whatever *that* means) is 170 sq ft, for a total of 342 sq ft with both. Don't know if the class jib is 100% or larger, though, since my sails are not original. Regardless, IMHO, 222 sq ft for a 100% seems much too large...
