TWS was 7 to 7.5
sailing at 8-8.25
AWA of 43 degrees

too close to consider using a Code Zero. Or is UK’s Zeros total downwind sails?

Would this configuration nearly take place of a Zero, with or without a GS? Assuming flying two jibs as mentioned are about the same area of a Fro Zero.
Would be interesting to add a GS to the two jibs as a triple head rig, for boats with slightly longer prodders and J lengths. Would that then negate the Zero?
Just winter talk!
