Bonjour Jens
What it says is essentially to outline how they propose to calculate the ratio for various types of boats -- to use the maximum sail area and to spread the weight of crew (in the case of cruising boats) between the windward cockpit and bunks. Since you already have the ratio (15.5?) there's not much left to do- no need to translate any further, really. One comment on the Hisse et oh website suggested that your boat, at 15.5 , was pretty stiff because the sail area was pretty small. Bon vent!
