[quote=halliske]On my 5.2 the down haul on the main is a very important trim sheet for the speed of the boat. The power that is generated by the jib overlaping the main is huge for the control of the overall trim of the boat.. The 5.2 loves to have her nose in the water with no keel showing and only an inch or 3 of the bow above the waterline and spray keeping the crew cool.. A small jib would improve the tramp and it's busy condition.. BUT tacking a smaller jib on the front cross bar and having a much smaller jib would seem to be an invite to less power and a sensitive trim issue, even with the mast racked back.... BUt Try it and let us know.. Would seem to really effect the downwind speed.. Put on a spin.. OK Might be OK.. Hal[/quote]
