(Pete M P-23) are in the boat, but by the way Brians flys, I suspect mine is about the same. I usually fly it Exactly like a jib and can tack it inside like the jib does. This is real easy for me to sail with single handed. I use it more for reaching that way and can sail it up to 90 degrees off the wind. I have a turning block mounted near where the stern pulpit would be and sheet it forward to the winch then back through the jib cleats. That allows me to break it free really fast if needed. I can use the winch to sheet it in or just to change direction of the pull.
