This photo appeared in a book called
"SAILS" by Jerermy Howard-Williams in the early 1970's.
The caption read:
"The genoa luff is all impotant. Place a straight edge along this Contessa
32's luff and you will see that it has very little sag. Try the same on a photgraph
of your own boat!"

So there you are - CONTESSA 32's setting the standard again!
