I chatted with Fletch about sail manufacture at Christmas time. Most of the European Tornado teams are using MAX cloth in their sails, thus allowing cleaner lighter sails. When I asked Fletch about it, the gist of the conversation was that in general they were better sails than radial cut sails, in fact when a couple of Aussie teams were looking to buy second hand sails of the Euros I believe he suggested they make sure they were MAX. However, for their program (Bundy and Gashby) after doing their due diligance they decided to stick with radial sails because with Fletch and Gashby both looking at the sails in the lead up to a regatta the radial sails give them the ability to make minor tweeks to the sail each day until it is perfect. With a max sail this would be significantly harder. 3DL and 3DR sails are illegal on Ts anyway but based upon this discussion, I don't think the world's best Tornado sailors would use them even it they could.
