Good info. I think the biggest improvement these days is in sail handling.

And newer designs like your boat and others mentiioned here that have a sail plan that balances a smaller headsail are making sailing easier. My boats older low aspect plan requires more headsail area of course, but as you mention, there's a lot of miles being covered with smaller headsails even on older boats. But those last two boats like yourself are long distance offshore sailers, but I'm surprised at those sail choices. Thanks.
