Designing a new boat for an semi-open/developmental race class. Going to use a rigid sail. Planning on using a NACA0012 - NACA0015 airfoil for the wing, but I'm having trouble finding formulas for finding the surface area of a wing with a given profile, chord, and wingspan. Any aero-E's out there offer some help?
