That's correct - pointing is the same, but the maneuver is smoother, more correct. 8)

I only have a Genoa so run the sheets to the tracks on the gunnels. No difference obviously in pointing ability with ez-cleats just a lot easier to control the sheets. :)

Hey Highlander, are those storm jibs? Or is that called a jib topsail, or is it a fore topmast staysail? Why are they so small? Are they for anchoring in the wind or something?
