[Alberg30] Positive Stability Range

[Alfredo]

 Thanks everyone. 
I'm reading about storm sails(Coles' Heavy weather Sailing). It suggest the Trysail to be no more than a third of the area of the main. In our case 73 sq feet. And the Storm Jib about 5% of forestay lenght sqared. Any idea about the forestay lenght? 
Thanks again.

Back in 1994, Jack Hornor estimated the positive stability range to a 
bit under 120 degrees. Judging from the graph he gave out, I'd say 
about 118 degrees.

The sailplan (http://www.alberg30.org/boat/A30sailplan.jpg) shows a 
figure of 221 sq. ft. for the main. The fore triangle is 189 sq. ft.
