Yep, pretty quiet here this weekend eh. The predicted wind never made it. My boat is short on sail and needs a good breeze to really sail well. The designer short sailed the design for safety. I think he was way too conservative. The stock jib is really only a 65-70% storm jib. I suspect she'll carry 50-75% more sail easily. A topsl and cutter rig will tell the tale. Tell me about your boat. She looks sharp. Did you build her?
