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?

Are you talking upwind-downwind? Around the marks? Or around the
islands?

Answer: None. depends on the wind. Really depends on the weather.

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.

I agree. But I've found that the more halyards you have, the better.
Hell, I'd have three main halyards if I could.

I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
