Usually I oversheet the squaretop by error in light winds and stall the top, not the other way around.
Thanks Rolf, that's exact the information I needed.
Do you know how much development have gone into that sail?
I can only guess, that they used an A-cat cut, but the mast is stiffer due to the reinforcement for the second trapez. Sometimes the leech between the top and second batten flutters a bit.
Is it an old sail or a new one?
2004, pentex mylar from Petrucci, but not sailed much.
Can the sail have stretched badly?
Could be, but I don't think so (6:1 mains sheet and sailed on lakes in the Alpes).
I will try to take some pictures next week end. (try = have the patience, not to be all the time on the water <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />).
Cheers,
Klaus
