So it's all about not letting the roach hit the backstay is it.
Hogwash! My new main reaches full hoist and has max roach. Yes it
hits the backstay when tacking.............so what. In fact it gets
hung up in light air. We just flick the backstay. Face it you were
sold a screwed up main that the original owner wasn't satisfied with.
You got what you paid for.

35s5 owners: cheap.
