Partially true... Steve does play fair. However, he had to
replace his mast and had to get one with a lot larger thickness.
As he likes to go fast and the new mast may support the trapeeze,
he opted for it. With luck, we can re-rate him in some fashion
to keep the races even.

3.5 feet on the foot an about 6 or 7 feet on the luff!
Can I borrow it to use as a spinakker?
