The short answer is yes, it has a 153 inch boom and a 150 inch yard but that information may not help you much. This is a 73 square foot leg-o'-mutton rig from 1927 which has a completely different geometry from a 45 square foot lateen rig in 1936 (if you care about being period correct). The first link below shows the progression of Old Town sail rigs from 1907 to 1932.
The chart of the mast and boom lengths you provided has no information about the yard spar because the boom and yard were exactly the same size on those rigs. This information and more is available at the second link below. It also has a page indicating that booms (and yards) were '1"-1 3/8"-1 1/4"' and masts were '1 7/8"-1 1/2"' in diameter.
The last link below may also interest you. It shows a broad variety of sailing canoes including my black canoe with two different leg-o'-mutton rigs (the 73 square foot one is a tanbark sail and the 60 square foot is a white sail), along with a 55 square foot red lateen rig sail. There is also a set of instructions for making your own sailing rig.
Let me know if this doesn't answer your questions or if there is anything else that I can do to help,

The Old Town Canoe Company catalogs show an interesting progression of the standard sailing rigs over the years as shown in the catalog pages attached below. The first sailing canoe was shown in 1907 with tear drop shaped leeboards and no rudder. The next major change was to a more square leeboard with a handle on top in 1913. A larger leg-o-mutton rig was also introduced this year as shown at

I was researching the original sizes of the Old Town Canoe sails and found some information that might interest anyone else with plans to restore one. The images below are the original company notes on the topic over the years.
The first image gives the sail sizes in square feet and the luff, leach, foot, and roach measurements. More information about these terms can be found at

I have resuscitated my once healthy sailing interest this summer with a very lichen covered Sunfish and I would love to sail a canoe.
I am hungry for more pictures of sailing canoe rigs, parts and setups.
I have "The Book" and have been reading as much as I can. I have standard canoe old town boats to set up in this way and would love to see what those look like all set up.
I would like to take a canoe on a weekend trip somewhere to paddle (CT to NH) and have the option to sail or paddle on one of the bigger NH lakes. Looking at something like a lanteen with a smaller sail area so I...
