Todd,

Stan Schreyer, the guy I purchased the tornado from, has told me the Tornado actually performs better with the smaller spinnaker than the class rule actually permits. I also asked about the sheeting position, angle...he said the sail is cut to allow for the fairly steep angle that tends to keep the leech tighter. The sail is also quite flat relative to others I have seen on different classes.

So I guess, the sail is cut to sail at higher, faster angles without getting drag a bigger, fuller sail might cause.

Mike.
