I'd forgotten the Merlin is a National Class so I believe the class rules are held and administered by the RYA.

It would have to be a flippin big halyard bag to make a difference? Merlins running out of class legal games to play?

Any funnelled air would be so disturbed as to make it worse than useless. I assume the real purpose was to minimise disturbed air below boom level, but not having seen a picture, I don't really have a clue!

If you had a fairing around the mast and kicker I could, maybe, see that improving airflow but as soon as you fill it with lumpen, coiled up, halyards it'll be horribly un-aerodynamic.........

Do halyard bags have to have a halyard in them to be class legal?
