Reply to: Using a smaller sail

[quote=Wolfman]You may be able to make it work, not sure about the boom connections. I know the 16 and 14 are pretty compatible. That would really be a bit of a shame though that amount of sail would hardly push that bad boy. get a sailmaker to give you a reefing point for high winds. And get the feel for tacking without a jib. A couple of hours spent and you won't worry about it anymore. Keep the main centered and sheeted in. Stay on the rear windward side until you are through the eye of the wind +20 degrees and then move to the front beam on the other side. Blow a foot of sheet and reset, away you go. You blow it, reverse the rudders and push the boom over until you backwind to the right course.[/quote]
