I don't have have a typhoon but the advantages of a loose foot is in the sail shape. You can put more or less camber in the sail for the conditions. In higher wind you tighten the outhaul and in light air or to power through chop loosen it.

Congratulations!!

Sailing on a lake can make you a better sailor.
