Changing Old School Sail Plan
Has anyone with an old school long boom boat ever ordered a new main with a shorter foot?

As we know, many experts say to have a larger jib to offset the weather helm caused by these old long booms.

If I keep my boat, it will need new sails soon so I was just thinking.....

It appears this Contessa 26 owner has bought and installed such a sail with a shorter foot than the original
