How do you rate a one-off boat?

I think I would start with a maybe clearly

too fast

number than a

too slow

number. In the end it will still be a light boat. How much sail area will it have with the main and jib? will it be anywhere near the 20 sq meters that the original main only HT rig?
I like Jake's thinking though, but might start at 66 or something.

Come to think of it, I didn't really factor in boat weight when I made that 80/20 assumption...I would put it closer to 70/30.

Hmmm,

Using TEXEL rating and guessing on boat weight, no spin, 1 trap, hard numbers for jib size and extrapolated main I arrived at 106.

Same as an F16. DPN 65.2. I really doubt the boat could sail to that w/out spin. But, could be wrong.
