hi jonn,
the sails tend to catch a bit more wind if they are loose footed as the foot hangs over the boom. however they are a bit of a pain as sometimes you have to help it to change sides after a tack. i have a loose footed main but the boom was designed for a sail to be held in it some my problmes are the same.
cheers, Ben
