[quote=kinlawk]Hello, this is my first year owning a catamaran and i have fallen in love. I have taken my cat out about 10 times in all wind conditions and feel confident in what i am doing.
the last time i took the boat out was in winds at about 20MPH with gust around 30 MPH. It was awesome until the jib riped off. The jib zipper is now distroyed. Well when i got home i was telling a friend of mine how much fun i had sailing and the story about the jib he said that i should not fly the jib in heavy winds(he sails a Lazer).
Well i have been looking around for a set of newer used sails or just a jib. My questions are,
Will a set of hobie 16 sails work on a Prindle 16?
And should i take my jib down in higher winds? (I know that i am new to the world of sailing but wouldn't that make it way harder to tack?)
Thanks for any help!
