Lead sheets through forward car outside of all shrouds unless beating, and then run inside
of aft shroud.
Sail is quite small for the pole, but it is fine as long as pole is guyed fore and aft.
130% Elvstrom
Lead sheets outside all shrouds, unless furled and beating in which case needs to run
inside one aft shroud.
Notes on Bending Sails and Sail Trim
Can hoist or drop genoa/jib when sheeted in on any point of sail (depends on how tight
the headfoil is).
