Power of Mumm30 vs Wauquiez Centurion 45S

Power of Mumm30 vs Wauquiez Centurion 45S
Force generate by the sail should be proportional to the sail area Larger boat has larger sail and heavier mass. Power/ mass is a parameter to compare power of different boat.
Suppose two boat generate same force/ unit sail area although the sail configuration differ.
Area of MUmm 30 sail are= 27.44+ 19.37 meter2=46.8 m2
mass of Mumm30=1950 kg A/m=0.024
