I have been helping Harry Murphey with his MX conversion to a chute. He has the max mast rake he can get as per Randy. Then he had Randy build a smaller jib with the chute in mind. he uses a Nacra 6.0 bridle foil to stiffen the boat His pole will attach just under his foil and be sufficently high enough off the water for using a bag and later on a snuffer of some kind.



His thinking is that he will have optimized his upwind, reaching and down wind performance by loosing some of the jib. He also noticed that the Nacra 6.0's were not furling their jib with a Smyth chute so he ought to be able to carry all three sails.



Let me know what you decide so that I can pass your solution on to him.



take care

Mark
