Correct me if I'm wrong, but:
  1. The Hobie 16 has (according to multiple sources some of which predate the push to SCHRS) 218 sqft (20.26 m2) of sail area NOT including the mast. According to the SCHRS table, it has 15.14 + 4.8 = 19.94 m2 total INCLUDING mast. That can't be right.
  2. The Hobie 18 has 240 sqft (22.30 m2) of sail area NOT including mast. SCHRS has it listed as 16+6.32 = 22.32 m2 INCLUDING mast. That can't be right.
  3. The Prindle 18.2 has 233 sqft (21.65 m2) of sail area NOT including mast. SCHRS lists it as 16.92 + 4.61 = 21.53 m2 INCLUDING mast. That can't be right.

Either all these old sources were including the mast - something I can't conceive of them doing, or SCHRS is not including the mast - contrary to it's instructions. Which one is it?

Yours in confusion,
