Another point on the sail area:
The Orion was made in both cutter and sloop configurations. These are the numbers directly from the original sail plan drawing.
Total Working Sail Sloop- 428
Total Working Sail Cutter- 512
Main-190
Jib- 238
Staysail-84
Yankee- 294
Genoa-343
Drifter- 343
Storm trysail-47
Storm
Jib- 42
The reason that sounds like a lot of sail is because I gave you a bad number earlier.
The LOD is 27'
The LOA is 30'11"
They put a 4' bowsprit on her to carry more sail (helps move her fat ass
)
Sorry about the confusing numbers earlier.
