Square top sail is standard now in Aus, you can't order a pin head, the sail is the same size, its not a wingmast, there is still no boom so is not as easy as a boom with outhaul to shape so no change to handicap. Having said that i used mine for the first time last satuday on a 60km distance race in wind around 20kts, its awesome to sail with but I'm not sure I was any better than if I used a brand new Dacron sail. Lots of boats have changes that don't alter the handicap, the full carbon mozzy that I sail against sometimes doesn't get a lower handicap
