Thanks for the explanation-
I am thinking about it from a depowering perspective on 6.0 because I am trying to do more sailing with my wife (120lb) instead of my normal crew (230lb). I have been thinking about increasing pre-bend a little to let the top twist off more. BUT, tightening the downhaul will do the same- if I uderstand it all correctly. But alas, that is not the subject of this thread. I can't wait until Rick's seminar in april
