I don't remember the details, but we were always very fast in heavy air. That is they way Reg White rigged the boat and it was standard on Sailcraft Tornados then.

Remember, this was 1973-74 and a lot of water has gone under the keel in the T-boats.

I still believe you want to open the slot in heavy air and this rig is controlled with the mainsheet. My main thought is to get rid of the wire on the Hobie 20 now.

I am still asking the experts whether it is good or bad by today's standards.
