I had tried to have the boat sail backward and turned the boat with the rudder. Somehow, either it did not steer well or I just inpatient and give up too soon.Originally posted by regularman
dead into the wind and the only way I have found to get goin is to let the boat make some backward speed and then turn the rudder to turn the boat. Now that I have a reef in my main, I can just pull that in and furl up most of the jib and this takes most of the chaos out of it.
How much does it cost you to reef your main and what does it involve? Thanks.
You can DIY like I did, I would be glad to tell you about it, if you like.Originally posted by underDAWG
