Hi:
I've had three different #4s on the Desperado. 1 80% hoist 80% and 2 75% hoist 75% . . . I prefer the smaller (for ocean in particular), although, most boats have the larger.
Racing 4's require tracks ahead of the shrouds otherwise your stuck with a high clewed cruising sail.
Check the Desperado for placement (disregard the outboard tracks).

:: came up- My boat has the original small forward jib
:: tracks sued for the # 3. Do folks use that track or is
:: some modification required?

:: And battens or no battens? Can you flake the sail with
:: battens in it?
