sounds like the Stealths need to lower their gooseneck <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, then you wouldn't need to put downhaul blocks up the sail.

Right, but we are all to big around here and moving the gooseneck any lower will prevent us from going under the boom when tacking <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This said this is a non issue with my small Stealth pre-F16 main, with a luff of 7.43m (According to the SCHRS site) instead of 8.10m (the max allowed by the F16 rules) it means the sail sits higher. But this raise an interesting question: I assumed the mast of the Stealth was the same as the more recent Stealth F-16, am I right? Or did the mast length changed when the boat was F16 optimised?
