[Public-List] Size of a typical Genoa ?

[Kris Coward]

Hi Jeff,

Well the sails offered up on this list a little while ago had a 170%
genoa as a #1, so with a total (spec) sail area of 420 sq. ft., that
suggests the #1 having a typical area of 1.7/2.7*420=264.4 sq. ft. (so
307 seems kinda high).

Cheers,
Kris
