Sail area calculations
Mainsail Area = P x E / 2 Headsail Area = (Luff x LP) / 2 (LP = shortest distance between clew and Luff) Genoa Area 150% = ( 1.5 x J x I ) / 2 Genoa Area 135% = ( 1.35 x J x I ) / 2 Fore-triangle 100% = ( I x J ) / 2 Spinnaker Area = 1.8 x J x I

I = Height of headstay termination above the sheer line. J = Distance between the headstay termination at the deck and the front of the mast at the sheer line. P = Distance between black bands on the mast, or the maximum luff length of the main. E = Distance between black bands on the boom, or the maximum foot length of the main. PY & EY are similar to P & E , but indicate mizzen dimensions.

SAIL PLAN DIMENSIONS
Figure out your rig dimensions when it comes to your sails.
The basic rig dimension for a yacht are generally understood. However, there are some differences in how some sailors describe these dimensions. Here is how we define them at North Sails.
I – Height of Foretriangle Elevation of Forestay, measured down to elevation of main shrouds at sheer line.
J – Base of Foretriangle Horizontal distance measured from front face of mast at deck to position of headstay at sheer line.
P – Mainsail Hoist Elevation of upper mast band or maximum main halyard position, measured down to lower mast band or top of boom.
E- Mainsail Foot Horizontal distance measured from aft face of mast at top of boom to boom band or maximum outhaul position.
Is – Height of Inner Foretriangle Elevation of Forestay, measured down to elevation of main shrouds at sheer line.
Js – Base of Inner Foretriangle Horizontal distance measured from front face of mast at deck to position of inner headstay at sheer line.
Py – Mizzen Mainsail Hoist Elevation of upper mast band or maximum main halyard position, measured down to lower mast band or top of boom.
Ey – Mizzen Mainsail Foot Horizontal distance measured from aft face of mizzen mast at top of boom to boom band or maximum outhaul position.
ISP – Elevation of Spinnaker Halyard Measured down to elevation of main shrouds at sheer line.
SPL – Spinnaker Pole Length
STL – Spinnaker Tack Length Horizontal distance measured from front face of mast at deck, forward and horizontally to position of spinnaker tack attachment point.

Guide to Laser Sail and Rig Sizes
Over 200,000 Laser sailboats have been built over the last 40 years, more than most other small dinghy sailboats. In this article we are going to answer one of the most common questions we get: What size rig do I have? This will help answer what size sail and/or rig you already have and what size sail and/or rig you need to purchase to update your Laser.
What size rig / sail do I have? Standard vs. Radial vs 4.7 Explained
The Laser sailboat has had a number of different rig sizes, with the intention of making the boat sailable by a wide range of sailors (and different sailor weights) by simply swapping out the lower mast section and sail while keeping all other components the same. There are currently three different rig sizes and they are commonly referred to as 'Standard', 'Radial' and '4.7'. Below you will find an image that shows the three rigs side by side, and in the following section we'll explain each one.
Laser Standard / MK2 / ILCA 7
This is the most common Laser rig size, and the original rig on the boat when it was designed. It features a 7.06 square meter sail (about 76 square feet). In 2018, the Laser Class approved a new 'Standard' sail, which is referred to as the 'MKII' or 'Mark 2' to distinguish it from the first version. The difference, among other things, is in the panels. The original 'Standard' sail featured horizontal cut panels. The new MkII sail has radial cut panels. There is no difference in size between these two versions, and as of 2020 all new Laser Standard sails are available in this updated cut.
How to tell if you have a 'Standard' sail: The first and most obvious way to tell if you have a 'Standard' sail is to look at the panels. If they are horizontal, it is most likely a standard sail. Next, you can measure the luff (the front edge of the sail along the mast sleeve). This measurement should be about 5130 mm or 200 inches from the top of the sail to the bottom.
How to tell if you have a 'Standard' lower mast section: The 'Standard' lower mast section should measure about 2865 mm or 113 inches . It is a fairly stout mast section compared to the two smaller mast sections.
Laser Radial / ILCA 6
Originally called the 'M' rig when first designed, the Laser 'Radial' sail is smaller than the 'Standard' sail at 5.76 square meters (62 square feet). At the time, it was the only Laser sail to feature the radial cut panels, which allowed the sail to be de-powered more easily in bigh winds. Per the notes about the 'Standard' rig above, both the Standard and Radial sail feature the radial cut design. Another typical indicator of a Radial size sail are the blue panels at the tack and clew of the sail.
How to tell if you have a 'Radial' sail: The first and most obvious way to tell if you have a 'Standard' sail is to look at the panels. If they are radial, as in emanating out from the center, it is most likely a radial sail. Next, you can measure the luff (the front edge of the sail along the mast sleeve). This measurement should be about 4560 mm or 180 inches from the top of the sail to the bottom.
How to tell if you have a 'Radial' lower mast section: The 'Radial' lower mast section should measure about 2262 mm or 89 inches . It is also a bit smaller in diameter than the standard section.
Laser 4.7 / ILCA 5
The Laser 4.7 (or ILCA 5) is the smallest of the three Laser sails and was designed for young sailors just getting into Laser sailing. The 4.7 lower mast section is also different from the others in that is has a pre-bend near the boom fitting, allowing the sail to depower much easier. This is the least common Laser sail size, and if you have an old one around, chances are it is not a 4.7 sail.
How to tell if you have a '4.7' sail: The 4.7 is similar to the old 'Standard' sail as it has cross cut panels. Many 4.7 sails also have an obvious 4.7 logo somewhere on the cloth. Next, you can measure the luff (the front edge of the sail along the mast sleeve). This measurement should be about 4080 mm or 160 inches from the top of the sail to the bottom.
How to tell if you have a '4.7' lower mast section: The '4.7 lower mast section has a pre-bend in it and should measure about 1810 mm or 71 inches . The bend is the easiest way to tell it apart from the others.

What Sail Dimensions are Required to Calculate Sail Areas?
The required sail dimensions for calculating the area of any triangular sails are usually its height and the length of its foot. But that only works for mainsails and mizzens with no roach, and jibs with a 90 degree angle at the clew - and what about high-cut headsails, spinakers and cruising chutes? Read on...
Foresail and mainsail dimensions are universally referenced with the letters 'J', 'I', 'E' and 'P' approximating to the length of the foredeck, height of the mast, length of the boom and the height of the main sail - but more accurately defined further down this page.
Yacht designers need these sail dimensions to calculate thought provoking stuff such as the sail-area/displacement ratios of their creations, and sailmakers need them before they put scissors to sailcloth.
If our sailboat's sails were perfectly triangular then, as every schoolboy knows, their area would be 'half the height, times the base' - but with the possible exception of a mainsail with a straight luff, generally they're not. Here's how it works...
Main and Mizzen Sail Dimensions
These are almost right-angled triangles except for the curvature of the leach (the 'roach') which increases the sail area.
It's usually calculated as:~
Area = (luff x foot)/1.8, or
Area = ( P x E )/1.8, where:~
- 'P' is the distance along the aft face of the mast from the top of the boom to the highest point that the mainsail can be hoisted, and
- 'E' is the distance along the boom from the aft face of the mast to the outermost point on the boom to which the main can be pulled.
For the mizzen sails on ketches and yawls , 'P' and 'E' relate to the mizzen mast and boom.
For more heavily roached sails, the increased area can be accounted for by reducing the denominator in the formula to 1.6.
Clearly calculating sail areas isn't going to be an exact science...
Jibs, Genoas and Staysail Dimensions
For a working jib that fills the fore triangle - but no more - and with a foot that's parallel to the deck, then you've got a 'proper' right-angled triangular sail, whose area is:~
Area = (luff x foot)/2, or
Area = ( I x J )/2, where:~
- 'I' is the distance down the front of mast from the genoa halyard to the level of the main deck, and
- 'J' is the distance along the deck from the headstay pin to the front of the mast.
Genoas, by definition, have a clew which extends past the mast and are described by the amount by which they do so. For instance a 135% genoa has a foot 35% longer than 'J' and a 155% genoa 55% longer. Areas are calculated as follows:~
Area (135% genoa) = (1.44 x I x J )/2, and
Area (155% genoa) = (1.65 x I x J )/2
High-cut Headsails
But these formulae don't work for a high-cut jib with a raised clew - unless you imagine the sail turned on its side such that the luff is the base and the luff perpendicular is the height.
It's still a simple calculation though, once you know the length of the luff perpendicular ( LP ), the sail area is:~
Area = (luff x luff perpendicular)/2, or
Area = ( L x LP )/2, where:~
- 'L' is the distance along the forestay from the headstay pin to the front of the mast, and
- 'LP' is the shortest distance between the clew and the luff of the genoa.
Spinnaker Sail Dimensions
Much like calculating foresail areas, but with different multipliers for conventional spinnakers and asymmetric spinnakers...
Conventional Spinnakers
Area = (0.9 x luff x foot), or
Area = (0.9 x I x J ), where:~
- 'I' is the distance from the highest spinnaker halyard to the deck, and
- 'J' is the length of the spinnaker pole.
Asymmetric Spinnakers
Area = (0.8 x luff x foot), or
Area = (0.8 x I x J ), where:~
- 'I' is the distance from the highest spinnaker halyard to the deck, and
- 'J' is the distance from the front face of the mast to the attachment block for the tackline.
