[quote=colinress]you need at least 6:1 downhaul and 8 or 9:1 main sheet to control the shape of your sails easily.
I have a downhaul 6:1 on a Gforce 21 with NEW Glaser squareTop (2019) and it works but JUST and it is very simple but it takes a fair amount of strength to pull. I know because I also recently acquired a Falcon F16 with a cascade 12:1 and it is much easier to adjust often and quickly.
