Hi,

my crew and I weigh in at 130-135 Kg, and currently sail a Spitfire. The rest of the fleet in my club sail F18s (which have suddenly got faster with new square top mains). If I was to get an F18, we'd have to use the small rig and carry some weights. I have heard that the small rig is not competitive, so I am a bit bothered. Is there that much difference?
