Default RE: Fairwind performance update

An idea that one of our local club members considered and did was to detatch the main sail from the boom, making it 'loose footed'. This will give you better control of sail shape. (a better foil shape at the bottom)

A few issues ago, the AMYA magazine 'Model Yachting' featured the FW, and that's one of the things they recommended.
