adjustable genoa lead cars

Post by dvantong »

Has anyone added adjustable genoa lead cars to their 7.9? Was it worth it?
I race alot of JAM and am thinking adjusting the head sail becomes even more important.

I believe adj. lead cars are not allowed under the class rules so likely not many have tried.

Also, you would likely stick with the OEM track and that would mean going with the "friction" style adj. cars. Schaeffer makes a set (wickedly expensive) as does Barton. To convert to a Harken style RCB would be a fair amount of work and even more pricey. I can't see the cost vs. effect argument being hugely in favor of going that route.

I too would be curious if anyone has goen this route (asumming for Perf) racing and found it worthwhile ?
