Don't look at the leech just rig to the numbers.
Sorry but that doesn't make sense. The numbers are a guide and you have to check visually how the sail looks. No sail is identical or made perfectly to the specs. There are small and sometimes larger deviations so the measurements are not set in stone.
Blades are the "power" wave sail in the range, they are ment to have more grunt, with the power toward the front of the sail, the leech on them isn't ment to be floppy all the way down, floppy leech also kills some of the up wind ability of a sail.
As i mentioned, over down hauling them moves the draft further back and makes the sail less controllable in top of the range.
rigging sails by looking at the leech was a thing years ago but sails have changed, not every sail will
look the same when rigged properly, if anything look at the battery above the boom and also the next one up.
