    PAR,

    I recaulculated the sail area using the area of the fore triangle (to the end of the bowsprit) and came up with almost the same number, .8% less lead than before. I have always been a little confused on how to calculate this on a cutter rig. My CLP estimate was using all underwater surface, keel and profile of the hull, as well as half the rudder.

    Thanks for the help
