Steve,
<br>
<br>I think mainsail sq ft has to be defined. If you just set a max total people will try to pile all of the sq ft into the main. This would lead to sail packages that would change quickly and making sails obsolete too quickly. It's a well known fact that you get the most out of your sail on the main because you use it on all points of sail.
<br>
<br>I think we should set a max sq ft for each sail: main, jib, and chute.
<br>
<br>Back to the snuffer. I think we should leave this open to crew preferance. Or we could require a snuffing type system. There is a lot going on in this area right now with the snuffer loop in the middle of the pole or even by the mast base. There is also the snail made in EU. So I would really like to see it left to personal preference.
