Does this help?

Look under the "Resources" drop down menu. Select "Sailing Links". Then go to "Personal Web Pages". I think it is the first one listed.

Good Luck,
Jim

Yea, I noticed the same thing regarding the V21. The jib luff was listed at 16'9" and the leech 7'1". (incidentally my V21 sails, marked Macgregor/Pryde, measure: luff 14'8", leech 13'8", foot 7'8"). Sorry I couldn't help with the actual question.
