    Gents is there a website or something (anything) where i could download sail design details. A sort of a Delftship type of thing for sails.

    Delftship has taught me a heck of a lot about hulls
    now i need to learn more about how much sail (bermuda rig) would go with a given hull.

    Square meters (main and jib) @ windspeed @ winddirection = Force ???

    Surely there are some general guidelines?

    Also try joining the Yahoo group. There is access to people that have built sails, and the gallery is quite interesting.
