Charlie In many areas adding a sprit IN ADDITION to the pole and symmetric spinnaker will result in an adjustment to the PHRF rating for the boat. This may not be the case if adding a sprit and asym IN PLACE of a pole and symmetric spinnaker

I gather from the list over the years that for round the buoy racing at least there is no appreciable gain in performance. I can appreciate that in distance races and perhaps triangle courses it may provide a speed advantage at some apparent wind angles but am not convinced that it provides an advantage for W-L courses. What say the list? Charlie Nelson Water Phantom C&C 36 XL/kcb
