Cutter Rigs Vs. Sloop Rigs
I have a cutter rig 48'' C&C. I have to say I
NEVER use the staysail & the genoa
(130) at the same time. Too much
turbulence. It just isn''t worth the effort.
A roller furling Genoa with a padded luff which maintains sails shape even partially furled is going to give you the ability to get maximum useful sail up as well as the ability to shorten sail easier than depending on the staysail.
I saw someone say that the forestays need not be at the same angle. That may be, but it seems like it would look sort of
strange if they are not.
