tommays is on a distinguished road
Every PHRF boat that i have been on this year has a RACE main with MAX roach

The roach allways hits the backstay making it a PITA to tack in lighter air and even in heavy air the main takes a beating on every tack to get that last bit of performance


So i question the wisdom of allowing a roach that hits the backstay as i have seen a few accidents when it gets hung up

If a dirty bottom slows you down what do you think it does to your boat
