But let me see if I have this right. The class agrees/addressed that the #3 should be larger but the old #3 would not be competitive if the class correctly sized #3.
The #3 was designed to be used in conjunction with the #1 & #2. The fact that people choose to carry their #1 beyond it's designed range or choose not to carry a #2, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the #3. Suppose you make the #3 max luff length. What are you planning to use when it blows 30? Filling a bucket to the brim may not be the best way to carry water. You might take a look at the J/22 or J/24 jib—neither is a full hoist. I'm not a sailmaker, but I'd suppose there's a reason for this.
