Hi Folks,

I am working on the design for my new #2 with a sail maker and we are
discussing the question of clew height. He suggested a clew height for this
sail of 4 ft which he said would provide good visibility and good reaching
trim. The only reference I can find from previous discussions is someone
suggested a clew height of 6" above the top lifeline. I know that this is
one of the main points of discrepancy between various sail designs for this
particular sail, so I am wondering if anybody has an opinion on what this
dimension ought to be. All input is welcome!

Kind regards,

JB
