Why do they now have wider luff tubes? I assume it's for aerodynamics..?

Basically yep... You can get a much deeper sail with a wide sleeve without having a big nuckle at the front of the sail which is slow. Generally the wind ranges on race sails has increased immensely since the switch to wide sleeves a while back.

Now the sails have zippers around the booms and tighter mast tip entries at the top of the sail so they do hold the water out a bit longer than older sails so you do have time to get them out of the water after a crash... but if you leave them sit for a minute and fill up with water; they are a nightmare to uphaul...yep!

Overdrives have less sleeve width than a Reflex and is a good happy medium between performance/ease of use.

Hi Steve, what masts are you rigging your OD6's on?

So relieved when I got the 2014- 7m to see the zip.. Haven't had a chance to use it yet.
I have a 4 battened race sail severne from 2006..wide luff with no zip.If it fills up I can barely lift the tip out of the water to drain it and that is standing on the bottom in waist deep water.. Luckily I haven't had it fill out in the deep water yet but I'm careful where I use it..
