I'm surprised that there are no "Star Cuts." I believe they would give
the extra lift that the lead boat seems to have.



Many Lightnings do use star cuts, they are flat reaching or heavy air
'chutes. For running & light air, the old fashioned cross cut is better.
It can be cut with deeper shape, bigger shoulders, and it's lighter
because there is less seam per unit area.

Anybody out there using tell tales on spinnakers?
