but then you get the bozo's who buy the in mast furling and trade the
roach for convenience and wind up with a ****ty rig with no redeeming
virtues.

Hunter Sailboats have something called a B&R "fractional rig" with swept
back spreaders. For the life of me, I can't figure out the advantage(s)

of
this design. On the downside, they seem to make running downwind

difficult
and create a high wind load. Any comments? Perhaps therein lies the
advantage. When you run downwind, you don't have to bother to put up a
sail.


There is no backstay. So there is a huge roach on the mainsail.




Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
