Well, KenB doesn't have a 5.55, so of course he rigs the 5.3. And sure
there's lots of variation, but you have to believe that sail size
is *roughly* proportional to weight (all other factors being equal,
which they never are) which leads to 0.8 m^2 per 30 lbs!
As for Terry, she's just off the scale!
