Your are making thinks too simple Wouter! In some cases less is more.

You can either go the "lets add loads of sails, lines and other fancy stuff" or "lets remove all things not needed to save weight and windage". Two examples of the two different roads are Eagle Cat and M20 (Marstrom original version at 115 kg, not the modified versions).

The M20 beats the Eagle Cat on the upwind.

Is it ok for you if I show up with an F18ht at an F18 event, or is that unfair? The F18ht is designed with all the benefits you get from loosing the jib, less gear, less weight....
