Default How to measure an ATS

the luff for close reaches.



Thanks,

What is your experience with an ATS on downwind courses with say 2 bft
but with a bit of sea from the previous days with 6 bft.
In my expectation an ATS wil stay more or less continuously filled
where other sails start to flap vigourously on the beat of the roll.
Am I being over-optimistic here?

Regards,
Len.
