Kel,

When it comes to seeing the "TRIM" the free foot has it all over the
closed foot.

I've been very pleased! You can read even the slightest trim adjustment
real easy. That goes for halyard tension, Outhaul tension, Vang tension.
The draw string on the main foot is very effective as is the Leech Draw
string.

I have the full batten main and the set up on the North is far superior
to the UK battens.

I haven't had a good chance to try the sail in Hvy Air but I have no
dought of the sail's performance. Should know in a week or two (Now that
we're on the winter side of Labor Day)

Kel, let me know how you find the sail and the ease of trimming. I 'm
developing the habit of watching the curve of the free foot. It's such a
"kick in the ass" to see the speed of the trimming in the lower part of
the sail.
