The tall rig and standard rig share the same hull. Assuming the boat is a fin keel, not a wing, the wetted surface area is approximately 130 sq. ft. The formula is LWL x BWL + draft x .75.
The beam waterline is not listed in specs and I didn't measure it, I estimated it. This formula is for a rough estimate for painting purposes.
