I changed the mast on my N6.0 orig to an NA mast(ie-double diamond wires). I raced this fall in a local regatta and they insisted on rating me as a 6.0 NA. I do not carry the sail area of the NA(self tacking jib and 3% increase of main sail when changed to sq top). Does the addition of the extra diamond wire make my 6.o orig an NA? Personally, I wouldnt think it would.
Along this same line, I havnt been able to find a max sq ft for the main sail of an NA. I dont sail one design obviously. Always Portsmouth. If they insist on rating me as an NA, Couldnt I have a low wind monster main made to include the SF lost in the jib and Orig Main? Im getting killed in the lites.
