Amazing. I have been looking for this info and here it is coming out of the wood work. I knew that there had to be others trying this out. I am eating this up so keep it coming .
I want to hear all the pro and con statements so I can make informed decisions.
From My calculations we only need to get the boat moving one knot faster to make this pay. That sounds like allot but I have sailed displacement hulls with and without Asym and we get that performance improvement easy.
As well we are going with a proper sprit. Sticking it 4-5' in front of the bow. Not just on the pole. that will help fly it and allow for deeper angles. and yes your right that normally you only see 130 but that is also due to speed. if you go to deep you slow down. And Jybe's will no longer be free. they will be slower and cost time so that has been considered.
for the point to point racing this has got to be considered.
Also we are looking at moving the hoist up to increase sail area. but I do not want to go to the top of an unsupported mast. next I will be looking for a mast! The J92 went up only 1.5' and my question to
J/Boats was that the safe call.
I have been crazy in the past an caught with my pants down and all the laundry up. granted we hit an all time record for the boat at 14kn but that is something I dont want to repeat. Tony Lost his mast on Radiant Heat in that race and It was only dumb luck that i did not as well. so I do want to keep the rig safe and not go crazy oversize here.
Any way keep it coming good and bad. I want to hear from any one that has info on this.
