I am buying a new mainsail for my 9.1. I currently have a bolt rope luff. I don't want to lose racing performance but I use the racing sail on weekends for non extended cruising. I'ts sort of a real bother to change to the "cruising " main and then back to the racing main for a couple hours. The bolt rope arrangement is a little cumbersome to deal with in a blow vs. my old boat with slugs, when cruising with my wife. I'd like to know what other 9.1 owners have done. If you have slugs how did you change the gate? Anybody use Harken Batt-cars or Strong track? Did you lose performance using slugs or track? What size and dimension of slugs work the best? I'd like to collect some opinions. Thanks. |
