Just divide a boat's sail area in square feet by its wetted surface area in square feet (SA/WS = SA ÷ WS),
Assuming that a sail is a triangle shape, the area of a triangle can be found by using a simple formula. Half the base or bottom multiplied by the height of the triangle and its tallest point will give surface area.
Because your right triangle is half of a rectangle, you would multiply one measurement by the other and then divide that by two. Then multiply that by 15 per square meter. Unfortunately, this will UNDER estimate your cost, as the triangular sail's hypotenuse is NOT a straight line. But it'll get you 'in the ballpark'.
A D/L ratio is calculated by dividing a boat's displacement in long tons (2,240 pounds) by one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet) cubed.
what can be more obvious
The larger the area of the sail, the more lift it can generate, allowing it to support a heavier weight. The weight limit of the pilot is determined by the maximum lift that can be generated by the sail, which is influenced by factors such as wind speed, sail design, and angle of attack.

A pilot boards a ship to sail/steer the ship into or out of a specific port.
how does the area of the sail affect how a model boat sail
The area of Sail-les-Bains is 21.11 square kilometers.
The area of Sail-sous-Couzan is 7,430,000.0 square meters.
square because it has more surface area
"Reefing the sails" reduces the area of sail.
To reef a sail is to reduce the area of sail.
If the sail is a right triangle (that is, if the angle formed by the base of the sail and the part that runs up the mast is 90 degrees), then the area of the sail is 1/2 times the base times the height.
