[C320-list] Headsail dimensions

[Robert Perrin]

Does anyone know the dimensions of the
standard 135% headsail?

I appear to be "missing"  9 sq. metres from the
area given by Catalina.

The measured dimensions I have are:
Luff:  12.5 metres [head to tack]
Foot:  5.1 metres [tack to clew]
Leech: 11.8 metres [head to clew]
Luff Perpendicular: 4.93 metres [luff to clew]

which gives a sail area of 30 sq. metres
rather than the 39 sq. metres stated by Catalina

Any information would be of  great interest.

regards,
