Wouter <br> <br>generally speaking, high aspect ratio sails perform better in light airs, low aspect go well in the breeze, howevere i'm not too sure how the sail area reduces with mast length using the formula for rated sail area. But if you look at the A class they use longer masts than we are proposing with narrower boats and less weight to hold them up, I think you may find that if you don't limit mast size they may grow and grow as people develope the boat, personally I'd cap the length to stop obsolescence in this area.<br><br>
