J120 Crew Responsibilities

Sure, the 120 uses assymetrical chutes and the 40.7 uses symetrical chutes. The backstay adjsuter is often remotely located on 40.7''s but are behind the helms man on 120''s. The 40.7''s race with Euro style mainsheets. The 120''s race with American style mainsheets. The 40.7''s are happier being sailed deeper. The 40.7 seems to be faster under spinacker in moderate winds.
