So i can expect your moth to have a 5m mainsail and a 3 m jib and it will be quicker than a normal 8m sail???... Do you really believe that? the PY for a pico with a jib is slower than for single sail ( but I spose there's 2 people ) |

jibs mean less pointing going upwind so its an advantage not to have one!

I find that the boats with the most outrageous poiting abilities are
the ones with jibs - Nat 12 and Int Canoe for starters. Single sails
are better off the wind, but a decent jib set up adds loads of
efficiency upwind...

It depends on the boat and the Speeds involved (and the courses to be sailed). I only have recent Cat experience; but upwind the jib just gets in the way - it's what limits the pointing; Cats with single sails (Shadow; Inter 17; A class; 18HT) all point a little higher than the boats with jibs. now reaching (espically when not fully powered up the jib helps heaps as it helps to keep the flow attached to the back of the sail. Same goes for off the wind without a kite. Again; off the wind with the kite up IMO the jib just gets in the way / disturbs what is going on with the kite putting flow down the back of the mainsail.
