Reply to: Tomorrow's forecast: would you dare?

[quote=dichtbijzee][quote=Venora][quote]So I need to sail it a mile upwind, I think we'll take jib off for this one. Even though the main is huge allready on this boat. The same area as a N5.8 on 2 feet less of boat. It will be awesome![/quote] I'm not all that experienced as a sailor, but i always thought having a jib aided in sailing into the wind?[/quote] Actually the jib only helps while reaching and downwind. Upwind you point higher on just the main. And you won't get overpowered as fast. We did't sail anyway, average wind was 26 knots + gusts over 30.[/quote]
