Thanks for the post, but it leaves me wondering.., where does it not comply with present F16HP rules?
I further wonder if it is the same reason my Taipan 4.9 does not comply -- the Hooter! or roller-furlling genaker!
If that is the reason, I am totally behind a move to allow this type of sail, although my arguments have thus far have fallen on deaf ears.
The answer is to simply remove the mid-girth requirement rule. The sail area is probably less with the Hooter or Genaker than the spinnaker, so there is no sail size advantage.
And the roller-furling is very much easier to deal with on a single-handed boat.
