TB, your memory is better than mine, did the boat have a cuben (black colored) main, no roach, main. The previous owner bought a cuben main, but it is a triangle, with no roach. I have a choice of using the original crosscut / blown-out main or the cuben, so I use the cuben. It is small, but it is light and has no stretch. The small main and 110% jib push the boat well in 12-18 kts, though, it does not seem underpowered in that range.
