I believe what Mr Bowers is talking about is the way that the front of the main luffs - it maps out the jib slot. If the jib slot is uniform (ie jib twist matches the main) then the main will back uniformly around the slot (as you ease the main or head up), if the jib has too much twist there will be more backing lower down. Conversley if the jib is twisted less than the main, there will be more backing higher up. So you get a map of the slot. Similarly the jib luff maps out jib twist. With the correct twist the front of the jib will lift uniformly, too much twist and the head backs first etc. Edited by JohnW |

They are all at it now! http://www.mothflyers.co.uk/blog/jonnie-foils-moth-in-3-knot s/ Could be a new sport. Question is whether to have a race or just style scoring |
