[quote=MN3][quote] Even so, with enough downhaul advantage and a laminate sail tough enough to take the pull, you can really flatten/depower the H18 sail, similar to what you can do (more easily) on the F18 Tiger.

your (h18) mast is very stiff so it's really working the snot out of your sail matierial
/ you are overworking your sail along the luff and will die an early death by oversheeting your (anything).
there are other methods to reduce heeling that won't hurt your luff as much - so unless your racing ... i would reduce rotation, travel out, sheet out, furl jib, and outhaul before i relied on overworking the luff - ymmv[/quote]
