I am all for getting exercise while sailing, but I have done some short/single-handed races in 15-25 knots of wind where especially with my 145% genoa, I simply could not crank the genoa in all the way after a tack by the end of the race. Even with my 110% sail, I was running out of gas by the last weather leg. Is there any liimitation on using these devices while racing? Dave
