The vang is a key control in any squaretop mainsail and yours looks way too tight in that picture.
To much vang and you will create a massive shit fight for control between the main and the rudder. Your leeches should be somewhat balanced. Jib and kite are in harmony, main leech is not...
Rumor is that the one in Maine might be for sale, the owner is not racing it much and has been running around in his powerboat.
Ryley, don't you know the owner?
In the pics, I see a short version (grey boat) and a longer version (white boat) - Any thoughts on the speed difference between the longer version vs the shorty?
I was thinking of sugar scooping my boat, but canned the idea as too much money for too little gain.
