- Boats had low aspect mains, small foretriangles, fractional rigs and no lapping foresails.
- Humphreys has drawn a fairly high-aspect, cutter-optimized sloop rig for the boat with a lot of emphasis on the versatility of the foretriangle.
- More recently in the US it has come to be also used in cases where the foretriangle is enlarged by placement of the mast at a point nearly amidships.
- If the two boats have similar sized foretriangles you can probably make it work.
- 1.1 The area of sail within the foretriangle.
Example sentencesExamples - However, in addition to the mainsail, some manufacturers use the working jib or even a 150% genoa instead of the foretriangle to calculate the total sail area.
- One nice thing about the high foretriangle is that gybing under spinnaker in heavy air does not demand flawless runner work to keep the mast in the boat.
- Rigs have become so generic these days that it reminds me of the late 1960s when all we saw were masthead, single-spreader rigs with big foretriangles.
- Bottom line is I think at least some IOR boats are under-rated; they can sail very well, especially in lighter air where the pinched ends reduce wetted surface and the big foretriangles provide power.
