Hi - I am new to the forum and also new to Catalina 275 (bought it end of last season). I am looking to improve downwind performance and am considering adding a code zero but Selden tells me that they do not recommend flying it off their retractable bowsprit. Does anyone have experience with using a code zero on a Catalina 275, and if yes, how did you mount the sail?
North Sails Helix technology is claimed to reduce the loads in this area significantly. Might be worth a look.
