I have some questions on racing a newer model hunter (290).The two big issues that I see with the B+R rig is the small headsail and trying to sail dead down wind.I know that gybing back and forth rather than DDW is the preferred manner for dealing with this type of rig (and for that matter any type of rig for increased speed), but my biggest issue is the 110% jib.I am currently using a 140% (on my H28) which works great for any low wind days and general sailing/racing.Without going to a spinnaker, is there anything that can be done, or is this just a limitation of the B+R rig.The racing I do is not real competitive, but it is nice to get across the line with the fleet, not 30 minutes after everyone is drinking at the docks.So it you do race with the B+R rig, what do you find are issues/likes/dislikes with your boat.Please let me know good and bad.Thanks for any input.Bruce.Neon Moon
