This was developed by Bryan Linnett in Australia and has two main benefits
– It lowers the jib onto the deck of the bow – making the sail much more effective by cleaning up the airflow (allegedly this improves the pointing ability and power of the sail).
– It brings the jib forward around 5cm which means that the clew attachment holes on the Self Tacking Jib are now in front of the track instead of only the front two – providing more options for adjustment.
