headsail tack height
hello,
I am in the process of ordering a new overlapping headsail for a triton 24 (except if some of you have one for me...).
Really hesitating on the tack height above deck, at the moment I have a really high cut jib (tack height probably around 50cm), good for visibility but the gap without canvas seams too important.
If I well understood, a deck scrapping jib is more performant with more surface, prevent turbulent flow at the foot, lower the heeling force (Am I right?)

Does it mean tack height should be 0 (just a shackle)?
What would be the best compromise between performance and reduced chafe on the life line (for coastal cruising)?

thks
