Thanks for the insights, Steve, that all makes sense to me.

Steve - As I initiated the thread, I have additional questions. I'll go measure the mast to transom distance soon but how much adjustment does your forestay design provide and how did you determine those numbers? Also, as a sail maker, can you address the stretch on a typical jib if it is kept furled and on the boat over time? THX
