[quote=klozhald]Hi emmettv,
An old style pinhead sail and the newer flat top sails are two very different beasts, and your concern is not uncommon. Expect your learning curve to be steep because there are so many variables, like:
Downhaul
Mast pre-bend [i]and[/i] rotation
Mainsheet trim and leech twist
Outhaul control of the camber
Your sailing will get better when you are better at trimming this new sail using the same old controls that now have a [i][b]different[/b][/i] effect on sail shape.
Ask your sailmaker for advice on these settings as they apply to your new sail.[/quote]
