What are the sail limits?

For the racing handicap, you are allowed one mainsail, five jibs, and three spinnakers. Any required storm/heavy weather sails do not count towards the limit. For the cruising handicap you are allowed three jibs and no free flying sails. The mizzen staysail is a free flying sail and cannot be used in a cruising handicap race. Only one headsail can be flown at a time unless the boat is a true cutter. Any sail may be replaced once during the racing season. However, you can have two mainsails. The restriction is that you have to use the same mainsail throughout a series. This permits you to use an older main for Wednesday night type races and a newer main for weekend races.
