The good thing about the older design is that when cruising, you can sail with 
just the genoa. I drive some friends crazy with their modern euro boats that 
cannot sail without the main up. I am pushing 7 knots, towing a dinghy with a 
135 genoa in a 15 knot breeze and they can not keep up under full sail. Most 
modern boats today fall into that category.

I don’t think that’s correct.  My boom is very small compared to the size of 
the boat, and my mast appears to be placed a bit forward of normal.  I assume 
the 1975 design was IOR driven.

I thought the shorter boom was due to designers placing the mast further back 
to get a large J measurement so 150% genoas were bigger.  More sail area 
overall.
