Hey Simple Simian,

Just really think about the main advantage of a Mast Head Rig. Just like
the rig on your "Banana Boat".

You can vary the size of the Head Sail easier and vary the trim(Shape)
better than the main

Which does bring a question to my mind. Why is the Hoist on your new Jib
so short, if you did the measuring? You know you short changed your sail
area, which is woefully short to begin with.

If you'd go back and read my adjustments about the Jib, you will find
the various Trim adjustment.

By the way, your vessel really needs a 150% headsail. With that working
Jib you'll have trouble keeping up to that Kid's sailboat with the
lollipop stick with the paper sail.

If you're going to keep that short working Jib you better add a pendant
to the tack to get the peak to the top of the mast.
