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
