Thanks everyone - I think I'm going to swap the smaller Barient ST's to near the wheel and put the new ST's I bought to replace the Barient 28's forward. It is nice to be able to trim the genoa from behind the wheel when shorthanded, but that can be slower and with less load than tacking while racing.
