or "...it looks like you left your mainsail in the dryer too long".

Have you guys ever heard these before? Or is it just the racers I sail with? In itself it's almost a good enough reason to move the traveller forward and cut 8-12" off the end of the boom???

If you show us pictures, we'll each have an opinion.


Here's an example that is a photo of a nice-looking C-25 named "Light Wave" from the Gallery at left. Does your mainsail look like this?

My understanding is that the boom is longer due to the stern-mounted mainsheet set-up. Actually, I like the extra length as it allows space for my 3:1 outhaul arrangement. Can't do it on our C-22. BTW, did you know that there is only about 1/2" difference in the foot length of the C-22 and C-25 mains?
