''because of the races" you mean because of the H16 type races that don't allow spinnakers?
<br>
<br>I talked with a Dutch H16 sailor that indicated that he felt the Euro spinnaker did not really add that much speed to the H16 and suggested to me that a square top main would add more performance (sense neither the spin or square top main are class legal). I was also told the spin created more pitchpole episodes on the H16 due to the spin pulling the leeward bow under.
<br>
<br>With the Trapseat spinnaker the pitchpole, issue is not an issue unless of course, you go on to high a course, but still I thought the asymmetrical spin might be something to look at but I guess not.
