Agreed, it will be fun to compare. With the TheMightyHobie18 jib she seemed to be able to run with Jakes' boat upwind, downwind he dusted me. The big jib effected main flow under spin, it would almost backwind. The smaller jib should help. The self tacker install is really an attempt to make the boat easier for my wife to crew. Plus it has been quite the adventure for me. I couldn't sleep last night because I was really afraid I had made a huge mistake. I feel much better having learned of the additional line to control travel.
