The 5.0 that Kirk from Key Sailing let me use for a season was the 1st-gen pin-top main with the overlapping jib, similar to the 5.5. Nobody had self-tackers back then. But look more closely at the picture above - that is not a self-tacking jib.

The 500 Sport looks like a great ride.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
