All I could find was on Pauls site. No measurements for the mainsail, but the std jib is 31 sq/ft, the 100% is 41 sq/ft and the lapper is51 sq/ft.

AMybe paul can do a quick calculation and let you (us) know? :)

Brett,

As designed the weekender mainsail is just about 90 sq ft and the jib is about 30 sq ft. My jib designs are slightly larger by a bit as I round the foot a bit which adds a bit of sail area. Makes them look better too.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys,

I have a total of 106' of sail planned. I would like a bit more but I don't want too much mast - it's already 14' long - chasing sail size. Do you think 106' would be ok for the Skipjack?

Thanks again,

Brett
