Spreader length: Hand book says there two versions (14” or 19”)? Is one better than the other?

I asked this question a long time ago and got no response.

My mod 2 has 14 inch spreaders.

Generally, shorter spreaders equate to tighter tacking angles.

Any ideas? What size are yours?
 
Spreaders

My Mod 1 has 19 inch, my buddies Mod 2 has 14 inch. We can detect no difference in handling or performance, including tacking angles. I do prefer the looks of the shorter spreaders. Plan to shorten mine for that reason.
 
Thanks Lem,

Good to know that they are going toward the short ones, rather than away.

I've spent enough already, and haven't even got her out on the water.

This has been the most expensive free boat I've ever owned!
