I purchased my N20 in January, it's an 07 and has all the updates as far as I know. There are a couple things I have questions about. First is the main sheet. It seems to be short. For example the boom cannot travel much further out than the stern crossbeam. (I think this is so it cannot hit the boards when they are up, also when going down wind the boom is usually kept centered.) The first time I had a problem was this weekend. I was sailing and the wind started gusting to over 30 knots. I think if I were able to sheet out more on the main I could have kept the boat from flipping.

Do any of the hard core guys use a longer main sheet to allow you to completely dump the main?

My second question: Do you guys use the jib car limiter for trim or is it there to keep the car from slamming into the ends of the jib track?

Last question: Do you set the spinnaker luff tension for conditions? For example in lighter air do you let the spinnaker tack a few inches out, and in heavy air keep it tight?

Thanks.
