The performance difference between the 150% and the working jib (about a 110% overlap) even in light air and on reaches was much less than the difference in sail area would indicate. Upwind, the difference is pretty much the difference in length about a foot or so behind the luff, where the power comes from. There's some benefit from less drag in the smaller sail, too. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
