Thanks. That 135%/243 sq. ft. Is what I was trying to develop on my own.

I'm going over today to measure my existing sails. My goal is a large #2
with max. luff and raised clew to use as a primary cruising sail. I'm trying
to avoid going to the sailmaker totally clueless....

Michael
#220

P.S. As I get this info I'll see if I can work up a meaningful chart to put
on the collaborate section of the website.
