Of course we could just Hunterize the main sheet and have end boom to

cockpit arch to get the best of everything?


Shame when design flaws delegate what should be a boom gallows to nothing
more than a flimsy, rakish, equipment arch. It's the "look fast - go
nowhere" theme of modern sailboat design.

boat as it goes into semi-plane mode.

Amen!
