Bob. and Dick.  No, the racers do not leave a little slack.  they leave no 
slack at all.  For instance you control jib sail shape with halyard tension, 
anong other thingsHeres how, less tension, with perhaps just the start of 
puckers at the hanks, will give you a flat entry.  Thats good for flat water, 
and speed in those conditions.  Also it points higher.  More tension gives a 
more rounded lluff, That shape is more vorgiving.  It gives you a wider 
'groove' in chop, for instance.  A racer will adjust job halyard tension to 
meet various wind conditions.  If he wants to win!   You may be a lot 
stronger than I am. but try geting that main up after a jiffy reef, in a 
strong wind.  I need that main halyard winch.
