And we were talking last night about a club racer with a C&C 36 a few years ago who literally gutted the interior of his boat to get a trophy – damn expensive trophy…..

One team famously got caught making 7/8s scale cars, more than one got onto using fuel lines that were hugely bigger than needed, line an inch or two or three, to actually function as long fuel tanks.

Shorter spreaders. :) Seriously, could be a very subtle cheat for one design or PHRF. The 35-1 class bylaws specify 3' 10.5" for spreader length. Who would notice a couple inches whacked off?

The process shown in the article (7 degrees for a 150 and 10 degrees for an 85) is fine for determining the forward and aft positions of the ends of the genoa track, and hence the track length. But your sailmaker will probably have a specific placement for the genoa car within that length of track depending on the shape of the sail and the width of your rig – among other things.
