Simon,
I noticed on Bundy's Tornado a couple of years back that he had a bail to deflect the jib.

Is this still an issue?-
I would imagine it would depend on the geometry of the fore triangle of the individual boat and dimensions of the jib.

I don't think it is an issue with the Stealth, . The only sloop rigged Stealth that I've seen did not have a bail.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
