Some Rigging Questions

[hiljoball]

I can’t currently find where I found the information, but an experiment was carried out to answer your question in principal. They used an IOM in a wind tunnel with the jib set as low as possible and then withe the jib set as high as possible. From memory - the outcome was that the sails were 15% more efficient with the jib set low. When I track down the site again I will post the link.
