[Alberg30] Storm Sails (Positive Stability Range)

[George Dinwiddie]

I think you want to square first, and then take 5%.  36 squared is 1296 
square feet.  5% of that is 64.8 square feet.

My old copy of Heavy Weather Sailing (third revised edition) doesn't 
seem to have that recommendation, so I can't verify it.
