Did the Rob change the Visionarry rig after the website stopped being
updated, because it is listed at 774 sq ft on
www.harryproa.com/visionarry.htm, which I figured is close enough to
your numbers.

Btw, I am not against just using a taller mast. Regardless of how big
I make the sail plan, I am going to have to have a mast that comes
apart into 2 sections to fit in a container. a 39' mast, with the boom
9' up will never give me enough sail area.

What are the boom dimensions you are using to get that sq ft of sail?

I am just exploring alternatives. Maybe it is time for Rob to hop in
and just remind me that I am an idiot and I can switch to some other
silly idea <grin>
