Default An actual sailing topic

Any opinions about the utility of these two configurations:
1- twin jib halyards, twin luff foil on headstay, single spinnaker
halyard
vs
2- single jib halyard, single luff foil on headstay, masthead
spinnaker + frac spinnaker halyards

Good question. I race boats, so I want the twin foil, and as many
halyards as is possible. If you lose one or it breaks, you always
need a spare. Same with the spin halyards.


Okay.
How many times do you change headsails during buoy races? My
observation is that it's pretty rare. Distance racing is a whole
'nother can-o-worms but we aren't planning to do any.

Spare spinnaker halyard(s) would be nice but I don't think it's going
to happen with this mast. Frac rig, internal halyards... it's not a
closely controlled one-design like a J-24, but there are limits to how
many holes I can cut in the mast.
