Well, with a full roach, I could get > 300 sq ft out of the main, so I
could reduce the jib and get the same sail area, which is probably too
much anyway.
I did leave out one consideration, which is to stay with the easyrig,
but with a custom sail for an 8' foot. I could then leave the lw hull
as it is, and go with a 2 part mast, for a 55' luff and an 8' foot
with an 80% roach for 350 sq ft of main and maybe a 150 sq ft jib.
This is still a 2 part mast and custom sails, so I still don't know
how that would compare in price and ease of trailer with the other
options.
I have requested quotes from sailmakers, but I don't know if I can get
anything reasonable without more specifics on the sails.
