Bruce,

I think there is a modification factor for a boat that normally sails with a spinnaker, but that is sailing without spin.

I was just stating what I felt sure about. Too bad you and Vicatman can't come up here for the Slip to Ship regatta in Ocean Springs this weekend. You guys would really enjoy it. We have three distance races of about 14 miles each. The first is to Ship Island which is maybe 12 miles off shore. They have chicken, rolls, water , beer , etc waiting for when we arrive. 2nd race is the return trip which is usually spinnaker all the way. 3rd race is around an island closer to shore on Sunday.
