Paul,

Before you get rid of the luff control try it out in a few races. It probably won't be needed in heavy weather but it may make all the difference to jib shape and the jib slot in medium to light winds. Our club champion has luff control and uses it to his advantage. When you're looking for those extra metres it might just be the thing that gets you over the line first. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
