Bob, it looks like you're getting some good answers from others on the list. Out of interest, why do you need the area? Is it to size handling gear / lines?
Mauri pro has the formulae below, but if you have a running spinnaker with broad shoulders it will be bigger than a reaching spinnaker with a tighter luff / smaller shoulders. It calculates 861 / 939 sqft for cruising / racing spinnakers respectively for the C&C 32. In comparison, it calculates a racing spinnaker at 1130 sqft for the 35-3, but my reaching sail measures at 965 sqft, so you need to take "the area" with a pinch of salt. Tim Mojito C&C 35-3 Branford, CT The following formulas will give you approximate sail areas: Mainsail = (P x E) / 1.8 (1.6 for racing profile mainsails) 155% Genoa = (( J x I ) / 2) x 1.65 135% Genoa = (( J x I ) / 2) x 1.44 100% Jib = ( I x J ) / 2 Racing Symmetrical Spinnaker = 1.8 x J x I Racing Asymmetrical Spinnaker = 1.8 x J x I Cruising Asymmetrical Spinnaker = 1.65 x J x I On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:09 PM, via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: > Can Any one tell me the sail area of a Spinnaker for a C&C 32, or the > fomula to get the area?
