Certainly this is not official and final. As you know each boat is rated
individually but this does look extremely good. I am trying to get on the
regional agenda and have this done officially but at least I feel safe in
doing so now. The A sail that I am looking for is one that will handle
close reaching and this will attached and fly much like a genoa. No pole
will be used. In two separate test we did with Steve Murphy's A-Sail there
seems to be a big advantage. Now Steve's A Sails are oversize but we still
think in certain point to point races and light air races this is the
ticket.

Not Really....He said IF you use a std pole. Would a std pole give you any advantage? some say yes, some say no. Also, he said it was his "opinion", he can't speak for the entire board. Chief handicapper doesn't give him authority to grant handicaps uncontested.
