Wasn't it Sailrite that used to sell plans for sails? I know I had considered buying the plans to make a sale for my Finn and they had good plans for cutting the panels for a dacron sail. Obviously modern Finn sails are not something a DIYer can compete with... but I digress.. ;)

I don't see that they list sail plans any more but see if this information helps. https://www.sailrite.com/Catalina-250-Sail-Data

They give luff, leech, foot, and stay lengths for both assymetrical and spinnaker sails. I can't vouch for their veracity, and obviously there's more to lofting a sail than just the edge lengths but I always thought it would be a fun project.
