| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

I heard from a very reliable source that J 24 are trending to hanks because , in light air they have the halyard tension real loose, this causes the sail in between hanks to billow out and while this may look slow the boats that do this are winning.
Why my guess is this the sail is definatley more wrinkled in this aspect thus disrupting laminar flow, BUT.... this may in fact cause turbulent flow which if you know will stay attached to the surface of a airfoil longer then laminar yes they will both separate but turbulent flow separates later.
my two bits..
