(I'm not sure I really want to start this) - while I agree that the radiused self tacking jib does not self regulate in the gusts, there are other advantages; One of them is that you don't have to mess with different size / stiffness battens or purchase in the sheeting arrangement in order to get the traveler car to stay where you want it. Because of this you can change your jib position within seconds on the water to try different tunings, adjust to a changing breeze, or adjust to a different point of sail.

The self regulating aspect sounds inviting, but it also sounds like a lot of experimentation is required in order to get the setting and response to work properly - and then it's not widely tunable from the water. Perhaps I missed something or read too much into the explanation?
