Subject: #2 genoa

We used a #2 occasionally in PHRF when light on crew and in the 14-18 knot wind range (ish). There are SO many different ways to cut sails that there's no pat answer on wind ranges and lead positions. Our #1 was fairly full (typically light air area). Lead position for the #2 was about a foot forward of where our #1 position averaged, so maybe middle of the back window?

:: We race PHRF and have sometimes with light crew needed
:: to down size sails. I have a #2 Genoa but have to
:: convert the luff tape for the head foil system I have.
::
:: My quesiton is two part, one - Do people use a #2; next
:: where does the lead car come to on the track? Is it
:: between the windows, etc.
::
:: Thanks for the help.

:: Don
