In the meantime just email me with your order: IP: Logged Posts: 16 I sometimes use a 470 dighy class jib, which has exactly right luff length and 1' longer foot. The size of the 470 jib can be found from the 470 class rules: http://www.sailing.org/classes/ClassRules/2007/4702007_CR_220507.pdf If I was to get a new jib it would have shorter foot with maximum hight. By the way, we were racing with an other Haven 2 weeks ago in medium wind conditions. But the 470 class spinnaker is cool!

Hi,
It works well in side wind when footed outside of the side stays. But it needs to be footed inside
when tacking. The worst thing is that the stay hits the sail turning it so that the tunnel between the
sails gets blocked.
We used the bigger jib and the other boat the original one - and no difference in speed!

Thanks for the input Seppo. We are continuing to perfect the new sail and it's rigging. We are also experimenting with placement of a window:
