Sail measurements

I took advantage of the nice day to take out the sails, measure them, and see what condition they are in. I had a couple of nice surprises, but most were too old for use at sea.
Here is the sail inventory of the Caprice. All dimensions are in meters and
include a margin of error of several centimetres due to sail stretching and
creases as the case may be.
UPDATE: I have since put up these sails, and the headsail and jib are the wrong sizes (too small). I will be getting the original measurements soon, and will post them on a new post soon. Joury's Jib dimensions are :
The below measurements are the ones of the existing sails that came with the boat, and are not original:
genois: 8.9 x 8.75 x 4.5
grand voile: 7.5 x 2.23 x 7.2 in good condition (not the original sail dimensions. It is too small both in height and along the foot)
tourmentin: 2.5 x 1.17 x 2
tourmentin: 4 x 2.13 x 3.1
foc: 4.7 x 2.5 x 3.2
foc: 5.8 x 3.3 x 6.8
foc: 6.2 x 3.15 x 6 (in good condition):
foc: 6.75 x 3.65 x 6.6
spi: 32m2

That's a lot of sail! Careful, there's a little boy going away with your spi!
