Default The Comparison...

A lot of European manufactures used to use a 150% genny for calculating

SA for their brochures and spec sheets because they were undercanvased
for the US market.


Really, Sloco? Do you think that's the case with the 35s5? What about
for the polars? How would it benefit a builder to use a 150% for polars
vs. a 100% for optimum pointing?
Anyone think Sloco can answer ANY of these?

Well, maybe you could educate me here. Most boats that I've been on
point equally with a #1 or a #3. The sail that usually falls short in
pointing ability is a #2. A sail that falls in the 135% range. I'll
let you make a fool out of yourself now.

Notice How Sloco couldn't answer the question, folks? I asked him how a
builder would benefit from using a 150% in polars...with no mention of
conditions BTW!
Sloco knows boats!
