[max-on]

I was thinking about this reading the thread, would not a rig with more flexability to power-up / down easily benefit short-handed cruisers more than a mosthead rig, dependent on a large headsail, and few controls to manage sail shape and power; with less crew the flexability becomes more important not less.

I can see the benefits of a 7/8, even a 9/10 max, rig, but what are the benefits of a 15/16 anyways, is that not essentially a masthead rig?
