Other than the Bank sails tuning guidelines, what are the top finishing class boats using for numbers? ie. headstay length, rake, uppers and lowers loos gauge numbers.
I am trying to find that magic number for light, medium and heavy air settings with the correct headstay sag.

We keep it pretty simple. Max headstay, loose backstay. Uppers and lowers same tension, always lowers first when tightening and uppers first loosening. 39 on the new style Loos as standard. 37 in 0-6; 41 in 15-20, 43 in 20+ plus about six full turns on the headstay.
