OK, I agree on the heeling issue. the boat will sail with less heeling with the IMF sail in the lower position.
But in moderate wind ~ 10 knots, does it sail faster in the upper position or in the lower position?
it seems that in the lower position the genny covers more of the main so it may provide more drive.  This may depend on whether one has the 130 or the 175 genny.
Thoughts?
