My headboard cannot go to the very top of the groove because
it would foul the backstay. My Kevlar main has a bit more roach than a
standard main, so she'll actually have more Sq. feet than the standard.

Got it? I posted 4 photos so far showing the true hoist, which is about

a foot or so below the top of the mast. Sloco actually (see his posts)
that ALL of these boats have mains with the wrong hoist. I have the
original Beneteau main in my sail-locker and the hoist is the same as
the Kevlar sail.
Like I said, Sloco sure knows boats! If he had quickly googled up a few

pics he would have spotted his mistake. Now I get to blast him for it
forever!

So what are you saying here Boobie ......... Beneteau designed the rig
and put the black band in a spot that required a main with a teeny
headboard and no roach? You sure can come up with some good ones.
Face it all the boats in the photos you posted have mains that were cut
too short. The black band is no where near the top of the mast groove.
It's easy to see in the photos that the designer DID leave room above
the black band for the headboard. Give it up dimwit you are the one
who's busted.
