[Laughing Gull]

I think the Bacons Sails web site has measurements. if you select Alberg and genoa, I think it has choices with measurements and sq ft.

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

Hey everyone,

I'm going to order a headsail deck bag kit and need to know the square
footage of the sail so I can order the correct bag size. I have no
idea. Ours came with the boat, we pull it up, trim it and the boat
moves forward usually.

Anyone know what the square footage for a typical genoa? I found one
source online that lists 307 square feet. Sound ok?
