[C320-list] PHRF Racing Sails etc

[Joe Barrett]

Per Ethan Bixby at Doyle Sails the Dutchman will work fine with a loose
footed main ONLY if you trim the outhaul in hard (and of course the topping
lift) before dropping the sail. Ease the outhaul after you have the sail put
away to reduce stress.

Thanks Bruce I was really curios on whether the dutchman would work loose
footed. 

I'm glad it will.

Rick,
We have a loose footed main and use the dutchman system with no problems.
We like the loose footed main as it seems easier to trim the lower third of
the sail.

I just started PHRF racing my c320 in Western Long Island sound. I was
wondering if anyone can give me some advise on cruising/racing sails they
may have upgraded to?

I got some quotes from doyle but I am unsure what to go with.  My main
questions have to do with the main

1. Loose footed or not?
2. Full battens or not?

I love and want to keep the dutchman and want to know if anyone has used it
on a loose footed main
