There are many advantages to the split tail but you need a good high purchase vang to go with it. Quick responsive sheeting, auto center of the boom, easier to roll tack, less mainsheet to reel in when rounding the corners. Con's, when it blows you need extra arm strength, when you jibe you need to give the main sheet a quick tug to keep it off the corners.
