thanks guys for all the input. sounds like the squaretop is the winner, especially if the rig can become that little bit more "automatic". doe sthe extra sail up top not cause more healing moment due to the extra sail power "higher up the lever", i guess if it automatically twisits off and depowers itself it shouldnt cause too much drama, in 2o knots plus i guess i would be more inclined to run an older mainsail anyway.
thanks guys!!!!!!
p.s. dont stop with the info!!!!!!
its great to keep learning, even after racing for 30 years. you can always learn more
