Is that pole footed jib original equipment for the SC20TR? A friend of mine ordered a set of sails from Aquarius for his SC20TR and got a jib that looked like a hankerchief and was not pole footed. However, I haven't seen his boat in a while and I understand there were some issues with his sails that have since been resolved. The jib might have been part of those issues.

Very neat system, hope it works better than his old(brand new) sails we used at the Mug last year. The jib sucked in a big way! Dave Mosley www.seacats.org

And to your point, I thought the Tall Rig SC20 simply had the ARC22 mast and sails. My eyeballs are starting to swirl.

Posts: 1,066 Wellington, FL-Singer Island, ... | Hi All, I own the second supercat in question, sail 2032. I have a short rig, oversized jib, square top main, screecher (hooter) and three harnesses. We had three people on our boat. I talked to Rick and he said he would take off the TR but I guess he forgot. It became a non issue when we did not finish. We set up at Gilberts but we were behind the warehouse. We were working on our boat the entire night before and morning trying to get it back together after we had some damage at the Hirams Haul. We have have been developing the boat to a new sail configuration and did not have enough time to reinforce the hulls before Hirams. Hope these answers a few questions. you can also go to our website. Craig TeamCyberspeed.com | | | Re: The sail area didn't hurt either.

Posts: 9,582 North-West Europe | SC20TR as sailed in Steeplechase
Main = 27 sq. mtr = 290 sq ft. Jib = about 5 sq.mtr. = 54 sq. mtr.
Only some 90 sq.mtr more than the I-20's on a mast being what ? 6 ft taller ?
What size spinnaker was used on the SC20TR ?

Posts: 24 Annapolis, Maryland | Bill, I guess that’s where I was going…. You get the extra ~12inches on the luff edge. And by lowering your tack corner from the normal position on the SC20 to the 22’s tack corner mount on the spin pole, you increase your luff edge. Doesn’t this increase your foot potential…. even if you’re running a forward-of-the-beam self tacking jib car?
One thing I noticed about your setup is that you run your spin pole in a low position (similar to the ARC22). Is there an optimum spin pole angle of entry for the SC20, or does it depend on what head sail your planning to fly off it? Did this low angle of entry, and having the lower jib tack corner, create any problems for you or is it a non-factor? This winter I’m going to attempt to engineer and mount a spin pole on my SC20TR and I was going to attempt to engineer mine very similar to the ARC22. Any feedback on optimum or desired mounting angles for the spin pole on a SC20TR would be greatly appreciated…!
You know, people can knock the boat (SC20’s), and compare them to or try to refute comparison to….. the new “high $$” boats on the market today….. But on that day, in that boat…. Eric and You were the champions! GREAT JOB! People that have never sailed on a SC20 will never understand how magnificent that boat is and what a pleasure that boat is to sail, thank you!
