Now I'm actually interested in Macca's views on this as he does come up with some good sound engineering knowledge at times. Yes Macca can be a pain, but we all have opinions and as far as I'm concerned the more varied opinions aired,the more the development our class will have.

My problem has been as a solo I have no jib and therefore no slot effect over the main. With the very flattish spinny's we are now running, downwind the spiny is now so far foward and out that there will be negliable slot effect on the main, drop the clew back a bit and the sail combination now starts to look more like a screacher and main with a better slot.

Views and sail set up knowledge would be appreciated.
