Shawn, The windward headsail was poled out, the leeward was not. IIRC the race rules did not allow 2 poles except to a short time during a 2 pole gybe.
During deliveries on boats with roller furling and spinnaker gear, down wind in heavy conditions (often off Northern California) I have used poled out a #3 (100%?) and rolled it in or out depending on how much power I needed. Often no pole height adjustments were needed. Racing Calypso short handed in heavy conditions I have used the same technique then added a free flying spinnaker staysail to leeward to add power without rigging a second headsail.

The only Chance design I've seen, that I know of, was an off 30' boat that appeared briefly at our club, don't recall the name of it, but it had several odd things about the design. No idea where it went, haven't seen it since. I like the idea of twin headsails for shorthanded sailing. I assume they were poled out, or least one was? Ours seem to do well in good wind, and would do better with pole(s) in lighter stuff. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSVCallisto&data=04%7C01%7C%7C35e382d15f404b5da8da08d9badd6ef5%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637746282478496171%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=chPqkKM4oE1ppyadwhPcZHp%2FPUapRbg10JmbLpYI4XQ%3D&reserved=0> Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
