| Post subject: | Sqare Top Main? |
Have my original main on my H18, hull number 4549, and am looking for a new main. Was thinking about a square top but what penalty rating will I incur for a race like the Mug Race? Is the performance worth it? |

Assuming it is not one design racing your penalty for square top is .995 as long as your sail area does not exceed 5% of original. If it does the penalty is .98 I believe. Check out www.ussailing.org and go to the portsmouth yardstick for ratings and adjustments. If you have a large one design class, stick to stock, if you are one of the only 18's go for it, it is a real nice mod especially for light air. |
