The square footage is a function of how the sail is built. My spinnaker has high 'shoulders' and is 24 feet across at the foot and about 35 feet tall. But.... I could get another with the same external measurements but cut in a more triangle configuration (no high and wide shoulders) and have a lot less cloth.
That is probably why you don't see spinnaker square footage on sailboat specs.

My sail certificate is online below with the dimensions. Perhaps someone else knows the formula to calculate square footage? http://desiresailing.org/Misc/SailCertificateSymChute1998CnC32.pdf There is no C&C 32-II. The C&C 32 (made 1979 to 1984) is actually 31.5 LOA. The C&C99 is 32.5 feet and came out around 2000. The only similarity is that they are within .5 feet of 32 feet.
