One of the UK magazines did a series of articles on this area within the last few years. The info may be on their website.

Arms -forarms, triceps, biceps
Core mainly in waves and freestyle but generally important for most things.
Quads particularly on downwinders requiring a long partial one legged squat. Quads and hammies for jumping.
Tibs if overfinned or sailing formula in bumps.
Flexability is important in freestyle and helps with mundane things like waterstarts. Yoga is good for your sailing.
More upper body weight helps with speed. Light weight helps with early planing.
