DAVE - Your not allowed to ask questions about your boat until you have sailed it at least 5 times.

That being said..
even though i am not an expert (i only play 1 on TV), and event though i would think the cut would affect it, i would think (in general) these arguments are independent of the type of cut on the top of the sail.

Lastly... did you ever adjust the diamond wire tension or spreader rake on the mystere? PS it is set to 420lb of tension. I plan to re-evaluate the tension / rake with my new sail one of these days...
