I would leave the bridle foil. It allows you to put the jib lower on the boat and reduces the stress on the hulls.


The jib on Nacra 5.5 & 6 is huge, so may be this is the reason you want to reduce stress on the hulls. But ones you cut the jib it is not necessary???

What is the advantage of putting the jib lower?

Found this on the web, I guess he done it

Frank, in his custom 5.5, aka Frankenboat because it is made of so many parts reclaimed from dead boats, was right behind in 3rd.
