[alberg30] Full Hoist Head Sail?

[Chester & Jan Koop]

I am in the process of replacing the genny (135%) on Tanagroa.  The current (and I believe original) 135 has an 18 inch wire pendant attached to the head.  The sail loft is recommending elimination of the pendant and making the new sail full hoist.  I suspect there was a valid reason for the pendant in the first place and wonder if the additional sail aloft (in a full hoist sail) would have any impact on handling/sailing characteristic or rating of an A30?  Any thoughts you have on this subject would be welcomed.
