I'm looking to improve speed of E27 # 75, Ghost, without hurting my
PHRF rating too much, or maybe improving it. Conditions here
(Narragansett Bay) are light, such that we only once even considered
anything but a #1 jib this year, in 20 - 25 races. I'm thinking of
going to an asymmetrical chute on a fixed bowsprit of say 18" - this
will apparently give a positive rating adjustment of about 6 secs,
which would be a big help. Has anyone tried this, and if so, how did
it work?
Thanks -
