Does anyone know the class dimensions of a 155 ?
How about spinnaker dimensions ?
Pole size ?
thanks

1987 "Stromboli"
Brad, the 155% sail is 155 times the "J" Dimension. The "J" for our boat is 13.5 feet
The Standard pole is equal to the "J" dim.
The size of the Spinnaker may be different depending on the handicap in your area. In SF ,we race using PHRF and the size of the spinnaker is 1.8 times the "J" for the foot. There is more to it than just the foot. A good sail maker will have the rest of the story including the girth Dim's
If you would like a copy of our Class Rules, let me know and I will send them to you. Our Class Rules do not cover the Spinnaker Dim. or even the Main Dim.
Good Luck, Dave

thanks for the info.....I am looking to purchase used sails on the net, and it seems like everyone has them listed with linear dimensions of Luff, leech, etc...
I have no idea what the distance is from the top of the stick to the tack and to the clew....it makes looking for a sail pretty tough.
You could measure for yourself. Several Sail loft web sites have "how to" instructions. Here is a link to one example:

Brad,
Go to www.somersetsails.com (http://www.somersetsails.com) and talk to Martin he is our local sail maker and has all that information
