Actually, the rating hit for carrying two or more additional headsails, based on actual race results, is less than that for carrying only one. Apparently, the extra mess on the boat, parasitic drag, and the hassle of dropping the spin to raise the hooter (and vice versa) takes a bit of the benefit away. Checking the mod table now, it remains: .955 hit for carrying extra headsail in a distance race, and .958 for carrying two or more.

sail fast!
