Reply to: Maximizing a Catamaran's Ability to Sail Close to the Wind

[quote=CatFan57]Okay guys, thanks to everyone who responded with recommendations on where to get a jib, much appreciated. I'll be looking into it. Just wish had done it sooner so could have had it for the season and seen what it could do. Also, thanks to MN3 on the good info/ideas as to (a) why a jib's likely to get blown out sooner, and (b) why it might be more critical to replace, i.e., since it sets the air for the main -- I find those points completely convincing and logical - especially for a boat like mine w/ a relatively large jib. Klozhald, thanks for the link to the P18.2 pages. Lots of good info in there I've started reading. Am impressed by the photo of Bob Martinez solo-trapping the P19 in the Santa Barbara channel (respect for you solo ocean sailors), and liked the photo of you single-hulling the P18.2 in Roosevelt Lake in AZ (which I'd never heard of) in 1987. Looks like you've gotten many years of pleasure out of your boat.[/quote]
