Hi all, all my life I have been a racing yachtsman, albeit at club level and my last boat was a high performance 42 footer that when properly trimmed and sailed would sail to windward in moderate

Kent, A high cut headsail is never good going to weather. High clews are only good for reaching. There's an article on the Island Planet Sails Facebook page with some excerpts from Bob Perry that

John, The arrangement I'm referring to gets away from using the forestay foil for anything other than the headsail. The balloners are joined together (common luff) and flown from a foil-less Facnor

Kent, save yourself the trouble, you will reach the same conclusion as we did when we tried “inside the shroud” sheeting of a blade type 100% jib. I used three boom vangs and connected the
