Default Dumas equation sail jib problem

The directions are crazy it say 16.5 inch jib but later shows the blueprint with 15.5 inch jib. Directions are very confusing. Maybe from some pics you can tell me where the problem might be. I'm thinking maybe cut the jib to 15.5 as the sail measures 15.5. Maybe then things will line up correctly. Thanks Ron
