rod weight vs wire weight is not significant....windage not any real difference ..real problem with rod ,needs ends reworked about every 10 years...back in late 70s ...cnc introduced rod on inshore design models, as a marketing strategy...after using it on custom larger offshore models..it did seem to enhance the product sales...as a mass production builder.at the time it also worked out as cost saving measure..number offshore racing yachts in 70s &80s changed to wire again when switching from hydralics adjusters to new mechanical adjusters..and better wire choices...rod was a good marketing choice....
