I decided to buy an Irwin after watching them going past at the nats. Finally arrived today, managed to get it on the mast after making a few changes (grind the slug down to size and downhaul travel length). Test sailing it tomorrow, get it measured on Saturday morning and use it in the SA states Saturday afternoon. Forecast is around 20knots so its going to be great Mozzy conditions.

Glad you didn't buy it before the Nats
. Hey this is not fair you guy's are reducing my advantages.
But seriously, good move Darryn. I would be interested to hear if you think you can point higher and keep the speed. That's what I found when I first started using them, I could point higher than before with good speed
.
Also if your first race is 20kts, three words of advice, downhaul, downhaul, downhaul
. Oh and keep the foot pretty flat along the boom, as it effects the depth up the sail alot more than some sails.
Enjoy
