    Hi,

    Can anyone give me some idea, or direct me to a book/website, that will give an indication of typical dimensions for upwind and downwind sails of the 2003/2007 generation Americas Cup Yachts.

    I am looking for typical values for -

    I - Foretriangle Height
    J - Base of Foretriangle
    LP - Longest perpendicular of Jib
    SPL - Spinnaker Pole length
    SL - Spinnaker Luff/Leech Length
    SMW - Spinnaker Maximum width
    P - Mainsail Hoist Length - Luff
    E - Foot of Mainsail
    BAS - Distance of Boom above the sheerline
    HB - Headboard of mast

    Cheers,

    Mark
