    For estimating sailarea's and centre of efforts I was wondering if anybody does have an autoCAD routine (lisp) for instance, that's capable of automatically calculate:

    - the area's of different polylines/regions
    - export this area's to a table
    - place circle's or pre defined blocks at each centroid
    - place a circle or block at the total centroid?

    Or are there other smart way's to do this?

    The autocad VBA acadregion class has both area and centroid properties so a VBA macro will be an easy option for you.
