My Gcat 5.7 has barber haulers, are these factory? Thinking about getting rid of them, any reason I should be talked out of it?

Also, thanks to all those involved and sailing in the Florida 300. It's a great route. Normally I would be there for start or finish but I'm on a different coast right now. Hope to see it continue in the future.

I've got the original assembly drawings in the G-Cat album here.

Compare it with how yours is rigged and let us know the differences.

do you have a spin? if so and you fly it downwind all the time, than get rid of em.
If you don't have a spin/hooter and you wish to sail slightly deeper/faster vmg downwind... leave em
