We\'re going faster, I think, but why?
We fitted roller furling to our Sabre 27 last winter, Profurl as this was given more thumbs up by Forumites than other brands,
We adapted the relatively new hanked Genoa we had as funds were low. Naturally it got smaller, as they cut off the luff and the mechanism meant that the foot had to rise up to accomodate it. Net effect - sail got smaller and I always felt that the boat was under-canvassed before.
But recent sails seem to show that we have not lost speed, and in some ways the boat is easier to sail.
Why would this be the case, I wonder?
