Wouter,
Just a few questions, I`m still trying to make up my mind which style of headsail would better suit my needs :
ISAF & Texel rate the Hooter as a type of jib ? Do you know of their reasons, ie is it because it is roller-furled instead of hoisted, or is it because it can be used upwind in light wind ?
I`d be keen to know what their definition is as to why they categorise it as a jib. I can see why it has been "banned" from many classes, a pity though that something that is easier to use & potentially faster is not allowed, takes away the "development" aspect from the F16 class, IMO.
I am still looking for the answers, any positive input welcome.
