Dave,

I did the math. Now I understand what you were getting at. The constant LP 
(155%) keeps the sail area constant regardless of the clew height. I guess 
that's why the sailmaker was pointing out that the trade-off was better 
pointing ability with a lower clew vs. better reaching ability (and 
visibility under the foot) with a higher clew, and sail area wasn't a factor 
in that conversation.

Thanks

Jeff
