[quote=arch]i recall having a conversation with jack young of Nacra years ago regarding the dangers of having too much purchase for the sail on a cat. while it's easier to 'sheet-in' with a 10:1 than a 9:1, 8:1, 7:1, etc. he said the reason they didn't put greater purchase on boats is to reduce the chance that the mainsail could be pulled with such force as to damage the sail or 'overbend' the mast.
