let me re-phrase that
the mystere sail has a lot more roach than an f18 sail

PS i am not sure but i would think that roach is measured from the clew and head of the sail, not the boom / mast, but could be wrong

Perhaps I'm ill-informed, but I thought the amount of roach was defined by drawing a line from the end of the boom to the top of the mast and looking at the ratio of sail area that is beyond that line. If that's the case, I'd say the square-tops are very "roachy"
