[quote=turbohobo]Regarding mainsails, some cats have loose-footed booms where the foot of the mainsail is not secured to the boom, ie Prindle 18, whereas other cats have secure-footed mainsails where the sail is connected to the boom by sliding the foot of the sail up a track on the boom using a bolt-rope, ie Hobie 16.
What is the major purpose of these differences?
Does it make any difference in technical terms?
Is one rig better than the other?
