I'd always heard that you could carry a bubble in the main up to 50% back and
still be fast upwind in a masthead boat. It seemed to be true for my SJ24 and
for the 30-1.Didn't work well on the J29 frac rig I crewed on.RonWild CheriC&C

Josh; The sailmaker who made my (now retired) 155 called the bubble in the
main forward of the max draft a “speed bump”, said it was no big deal on a
headsail driven boat like my mid-70s 38 mk2, and indicated it as a sign I could
probably point a degree or two higher when going upwind. Heck, he had sailed
in the Americas Cup back in the 80s. Who am I to argue? Rick BrassWashington,

narrow slot didn't you notice that the main got more back wind? How did you
handle this?Josh
