Default The Comparison...

Hey Cap! As I've said, the SA for the Benny is grossly overstated
here.

A lot of European manufactures used to use a 150% genny for calculating
SA for their brochures and spec sheets because they were undercanvased
for the US market. Using a 150% for the brochure was easier and
cheaper than making the boat available with 2 rigs. One which would
have been proper for the U.S.
