[quote=goodsailing]You will note I never put the jib out. Also one said it was hard to tack without the jib when wind gets strong. Perhaps for me, a reasonable sailing trip might include manuvering the boat in as much wind as I can without a jib to learn where tacking maxes out. I'm gathering from what is being talked about is that there's a fine line between controlling direction as opposed to the threat of being powered up unexpectedly which would add to threat of capsize. Can you actually tack without a jib in 20kts or is that impossible. Also, aside from obvious answers, how would one depower from being overpowered. Let go, sheet out etc. Will one hull be out of the water at above 18kts full sails. Can you effectively sail the boat in any direction at 20kts with both hulls in the water might be the question. Who really cares about being powered up if both hulls are no where near the tipping point. Is not that the point.. being powered up and going fast? Not understanding the intripedation about being powered up.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by goodsailing on May 23, 2015 - 11:39 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
