Does anybody race wuth a Code 4 main? In the northwest a couple of 9.1's went to a Code 4(extra 3 seconds PHRF)and they think there is not much speed loss. So I recut my old main to a code 4 so I could race even up. Now we are racing in a Performance 30 class-level rated against Olsen 911's and Santana 30/30's for all major regatta's.I'm getting a new main this week and can't decide on the code 5 or Code 4 since there will be NO rating difference in the P-30 class. One of the biggest issues I had with my old code 5 and even still with the code 4 was the sail hanging up on the backstay in light air .What do other racers do about the backstay issue? How bout full battens vs. one full batten at the top (which is what my sailmaker recommended)? Quick input would be appreciated. Lance Symbiosis #51 |
