[Public-List] inner staysl shown on original Whitby Brochure??

[Meinhold, Michael J.]

They are not allowed by the Chesapeake A30 one-design rule. I have never
seen one on an A30!

 What is the wind range for which you find this sail useful?

Good morning - 

Do you folks in the Cheasapeake fleet use spinnaker staysails?  They're
pretty much out of favour here in Ontario in all classes.   I have one
and
occasionally use it but it's main benefit seems not to be discernable
added
thrust, but rather a psychological effect on foes.   In SURPRISE we took
to
calling it 'the weapon', and would have over-loud and contrived
conversations between cockpit and foredeck about 'should we set the
weapon'
when racing in close company...and enjoy the nervous glances our foes
would
be giving us. 

We've found that the performance envelope of this sail is very narrow.
It
only draws well in the vicinity of reaching, and is utterly useless
broader
reaching and running.  Close reaching with the spinnaker pole just off
the
forestay it starts bothering the spinnaker.

I don't think its a useful sail for racing - anyone else have any
opinions?
