I race on a M36 during the summer when I'm on on Martha's Vineyard and due to the small, self tacking, headsail which is slow in almost every way we're never a match for more race oriented boats.

That said, sitting in the cockpit and pushing buttons to do everything is pretty sweet. Roller furling main, jib and electrically controlled sheets make sailing stupidly easy. You don't have to leave the cockpit ever... for anything... It's quite luxurious...

That explains why that jib has such an ugly shape to it!
