I would think that all that added surface area dramatically increases load too, so I would think more reinforcement, stitching, work in general. I don't think that sail prices and size correlate in parallel but I could be wrong. I like to get estimates on sail prices from fxsails because they typically have any boat listed that I'm interested in. Over there, an offshore, cruising, cross cut 130% furling headsail with foam luff is 3k for the C&C 40. Already looked into. And FX is one of the "value" lofts.
