i may be missing this argument ..but it seems like apples and oranges.

For a given stick height.. you can only put so much mainsail on the boat. And it will be more efficient then if you took some of the sail area and put it into a jib. (Hakan's point... I think)

Wouter then comes back and says... Fine... Keep the big main and now add a jib and he argues he will be faster...

Is this correct???
