Default Vang sizing

Looking to assemble a vang for Cindino, our Hughes 25. Does anyone have a
method of calculating working loads that might be expected/generated by a
main of 145 sq ft.sail area?

When I look at the various pre-assembled vangs out there they are basically
3 sizes; small, medium and large. The large looks fit to cross an ocean, and
the medium would still be the beefiest hardware on the boat but I am not
sure if the small is big enough.

Any suggestions?
