The Micros Class Rules used to authorise a second jib, no more than 70% of the largest one.
We authorised first a 4,55 sq.m jib even ifthe largest headsail was less than 6.5 sq.m.
Then some competitors were thinking it was better for performance in stronger winds to have two 6.5 sq.m, one light, one heavy and very flat.
Anyway the Micro Cup 1998 was won in the last race with a working jib and one reef, so I think it's not a bad idea...

having now got my micro up and running i feel i am
missing at least one head sail
does the micro normally have a no 2 headsail or is all
the reefing done on the main?
if it should have a no 2 does anyone have measurements
for it?
also can anyone advise py or irc figures for the boat?
regards oliver
