wrestling sails around in a conventional rig.

IMHO there are less unwieldy options... the Chinese lug
rig, for
example. Another would be a roller-furl staysail schooner.

... The
attributes of the rig were well analyzed in previous
discussions.

heard there were issues with the manufacturer
(Carbospars) as well.

40% more power? That's nonsense, not even wing sails gain
that much.
The AeroRig has been around for years and just isn't
catching on.... I
assume for some good reasons. If it were even 5% more
efficient then
you'd see racing boats winning with them.

by conventional rigging , they must have meant square sails
made of canvas.

It's amazing how people just can't read or comprehend a thing
anymore.
The AeroRig's improved efficiency is about typical cruising situations
where it will maintain better trim than most sailors bother with.
It aint all about racing, you blazingly dumb putz. A powerful rig
means little if you have to mess with it constantly to keep it in a
good groove. The word "forgiving" in sailboat design has a lot to do
with this relative to sustained performance, you brainless dick-headed
baby gorillla.
